    Why this setup works.
    • Nuxt manages document head entries through nuxt.config.ts.
    • Files in public/ are served from the root URL.

    Common mistakes to avoid.

    Using the source folder name in the browser URL

    Wrong: /public/favicon.svg or /static/favicon.svg

    Correct: /favicon.svg

    Most frameworks copy public/static assets to the website root. The browser should usually request the root URL, not the source folder name.

    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.
