    Why this setup works.
    • The generated favicon assets are served from the website root, so the favicon links use root URLs such as /favicon.svg.
    • The SVG and PNG links support modern browsers and light/dark color schemes.
    • The web manifest connects Android/PWA icons with the website.

    Common mistakes to avoid.

    Putting source files in public/

    Wrong: public/favicon.svg

    Correct: static/favicon.svg

    Gatsby generates public/ during build. Static source files belong in static/.

    Making favicon.ico the main favicon

    Wrong: <link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico">

    Correct: Use SVG and PNG links with light/dark media queries.

    favicon.ico is included as an old-browser fallback, but actively linking it can override the modern light/dark setup.
