Google's Favicon Guidelines for Search Results
Jamie Leach reports: Google Search now displays favicons on mobile search results. Optimal favicon size should be a multiple of 48x48 pixels (Google will resize to 16x16). Websites lacking a favicon, or with inappropriate ones, will show a default globe icon.
Your favicon should clearly represent your website's brand to aid user identification in search results.
Interestingly, even top websites show inconsistency in icon declaration (using <link> tags). Examples like Twitter and Pinterest, despite being modern PWAs, only offer icons in limited sizes:
<link href="/icon-32x32.png" rel="icon"><link href="/icon-192x192.png" rel="apple-touch-icon">

The Paciello Group announces: The ARC Toolkit, a professional-grade accessibility testing tool, is now a Chrome DevTools extension. It identifies WCAG 2.1 guideline violations, testable on entire pages or selected nodes within DevTools.

What is 'render-blocking CSS'?
Jun 24, 2025 am 12:42 AM
CSS blocks page rendering because browsers view inline and external CSS as key resources by default, especially with imported stylesheets, header large amounts of inline CSS, and unoptimized media query styles. 1. Extract critical CSS and embed it into HTML; 2. Delay loading non-critical CSS through JavaScript; 3. Use media attributes to optimize loading such as print styles; 4. Compress and merge CSS to reduce requests. It is recommended to use tools to extract key CSS, combine rel="preload" asynchronous loading, and use media delayed loading reasonably to avoid excessive splitting and complex script control.

What is Autoprefixer and how does it work?
Jul 02, 2025 am 01:15 AM
Autoprefixer is a tool that automatically adds vendor prefixes to CSS attributes based on the target browser scope. 1. It solves the problem of manually maintaining prefixes with errors; 2. Work through the PostCSS plug-in form, parse CSS, analyze attributes that need to be prefixed, and generate code according to configuration; 3. The usage steps include installing plug-ins, setting browserslist, and enabling them in the build process; 4. Notes include not manually adding prefixes, keeping configuration updates, prefixes not all attributes, and it is recommended to use them with the preprocessor.

CSS: When Does Case Matter (and When Doesn't)?
Jun 19, 2025 am 12:27 AM
In CSS, selector and attribute names are case-sensitive, while values, named colors, URLs, and custom attributes are case-sensitive. 1. The selector and attribute names are case-insensitive, such as background-color and background-Color are the same. 2. The hexadecimal color in the value is case-sensitive, but the named color is case-sensitive, such as red and Red is invalid. 3. URLs are case sensitive and may cause file loading problems. 4. Custom properties (variables) are case sensitive, and you need to pay attention to the consistency of case when using them.
