From ~348GB to ~316MB. So 1000x is a good amount of saved electricity. Screen Shot 2021-06-03 at 3 54 11 PM

@peterbe given that #3620 #3621 and #3622 are all merged to main, I guess it can be closed?

I’m kinda curious if those changes has made a (positive) impact to MDN, in particular:

  • did switching main favicon from 15KB ICO to 373B PNG work? how much bandwidth MDN could save further?
  • do older clients still get to the fallback /favicon.ico; if so, how much?
  • did the CDN cache hit rate improve?
