 The meta tag `apple-touch-icon-precomposed` is inserted when a site icon
 is defined.

 That tag name is deprecated in favor of `apple-touch-icon`.

 A good example of why this matters is to run a Google Lighthouse report on
 any website using WordPress. Unless they have corrected this issue
 themselves, a warning is thrown for using this tag name.

 This is a 2 second fix, **just remove `-precomposed` from `line 31531` of
 `/wp-includes/general-template.php`**.

 In the meantime, I've been using the following filter on all my sites:

 {{{
 add_filter( 'site_icon_meta_tags', function( $mt ){
         return str_replace ( '-precomposed', '', $mt);
 });

 }}}
