## ⚡ Performance Optimizations

### File Size Analysis
- **Total package**: ~92KB for complete favicon support
- **Critical path**: 4KB (favicon.svg + favicon.ico)
- **Progressive loading**: Larger icons only loaded on demand
- **Compression**: All PNGs optimized with strip metadata

### Loading Strategy
1. **SVG first** - Modern browsers load vector favicon
2. **ICO fallback** - Legacy browsers get multi-res ICO
3. **PNG on demand** - Mobile platforms load appropriate sizes
4. **PWA assets** - Only loaded when installing as app
