## 🎯 Pro Tips

1. **Logo Simple Rakhein:**
   - 16x16 size bahut choti hoti hai
   - Agar logo complex hai, to simplified version use karein
   - Ya sirf "L" letter use kar sakte hain

2. **Background:**
   - Transparent PNG use karein
   - Ya orange background (#FF6B35) use karein

3. **Testing:**
   - Incognito window mein test karein
   - Multiple browsers test karein

4. **Caching:**
   - Favicon cache slowly update hoti hai
   - Hard refresh zaroor karein
