How to make favicon.ico Small and Cacheable?

Question

I have a favicon.ico in my asp.net web application. It is small but how to make it cacheable? Any suggestion.

Answer 1

favicons are already cached by client browsers. That's often an issue when you modify the icon you need to clear your browser cache for changes to take effect.

Answer 2

check your server logs. favicon is often the most common download. If it is, there should be a section in the manual dealing with cache and proxy control. Details depend on the server.
