All of these sketchy backlinks eventually add up, even if they are low quality, and provide higher ranking for the site they all point to. This is done tens of thousands or even millions of times over. All of this exploit and link adding is automated, so it is just done by crawlers and bots. They usually leave the wordpress site alone, but will create a user account to get back into it again later if Wordpress patches an exploit. What most of them do is they will use Wordpress exploits to get into random wordpress website ran by people who know nothing about managing a website and are running on a $3/mo shared hosting account.Īfter they get into these random wordpress sites, then then embed links back to their sketchy site in obscure places on the wordpress site that they hacked, so that owners of the site don't notice, but search bots do. It's a big fat "fuck you" to anyone from less developed areas with less-than-ideal internet connections.

A tech company making custom software for a living is quite frankly just embarrassing to the entire industry. Arguably a fault of the software for not dealing with that more sensibly, but these sort of oversights happen. The Event Horizon Telescope having a huge favicon I can understand probably just some astronomer who uploaded it in WordPress or something. adds up and matters, giving real actual improvements to your customers. Does it matter? Well, when I used Slack I regularly spent a minute waiting for them to push their >10M updates, so I'd say that 250k here and 250k there etc. Still, I bet with 5 more minutes you can get it to ~5k or so. You can probably make it even smaller if you tried, but that's diminishing returns.

I got it down to 12K by indexing it to 255 colours rather than using RGB (I can't tell the difference even at full size). I got that 280k Discord favicon down to just 24K simply by opening it in GIMP and saving it again. Maybe I need to find a different picture that compresses better. Haven't managed to get my headshot down to less than 10k without looking horrible no matter how much I tweaked the JPEG or WebP settings, and thought that was just a tad too big to embed.
I embed it as a data URI and it's just four lines of (col-80 wrapped) base64 text, which seems reasonable to me. It's not a lot of work or very difficult (I'm an idiot at graphics editing), but you do need to spend the (small amount of) effort. I got mine down to 160 bytes with some pixel tweaking and converting it to a 16-color indexed PNG.
