rehype plugin to prevent a network request to the favicon when there is none.

What is this?

This package is a plugin that inserts an empty favicon image, when there is none referenced, to prevent a network request.

When should I use this?

You can use this plugin when you don’t have a favicon.ico at the root of your server, and want to prevent browsers sending out a network request to find it.
This plugin increases the size of the HTML, but prevents a round trip to the server by inserting an empty favicon.

Compatibility

Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with maintained versions of Node.js.
When we cut a new major release, we drop support for unmaintained versions of Node. This means we try to keep the current release line, rehype-prevent-favicon-request@^4, compatible with Node.js 16.

Security

As rehype works on HTML and improper use of HTML can open you up to a cross-site scripting (XSS)xss attack, use of rehype can also be unsafe. Use rehype-sanitizerehype-sanitize to make the tree safe.
