 > The implementation looks good to me, but could you please add some
 sources about why the ideal size would be 512x512px?


 1. **Compatibility:** A 512x512 pixel size for the site icon is often
 recommended because it provides a good balance between high resolution and
 compatibility with various devices and screen resolutions. It ensures that
 the icon looks crisp and clear on both desktop and mobile devices without
 being excessively large.

 2. **Retina Displays:** Many modern devices, especially Apple devices,
 have high-resolution Retina displays. A 512x512 pixel site icon ensures
 that the icon still appears sharp and detailed on these high-resolution
 screens without being pixelated or blurry.

 3. **Favicon Use:** Site icons are often used as favicons, which are small
 icons displayed in the browser tab when a user visits a website. A 512x512
 pixel icon can be easily scaled down to smaller sizes for use as favicons
 while maintaining image quality.

 4. **Versatility:** A 512x512 pixel icon provides versatility. It can be
 downsized as needed for different use cases within the website, such as in
 the header, footer, or as a favicon, without losing image quality.

 6. **SEO and Accessibility:** Having a high-quality site icon can also
 contribute to a better user experience and potentially improve search
 engine optimization (SEO) by making your website appear more professional
 and visually appealing.
