Hi:
I'm testing the speed of resources with this online tool: http://www.webpagetest.org/.
I get something in red that's the favicon.ico. See the image. What is that? I don't think it's something I added.
Thanks.

Browsers automatically look for a file name 'favicon.ico' in the root of the website, unless its path defined is in the HTML. The favicon.ico is a small icon displayed to the left of the page title in the browser's tabs and in the bookmarks for example. Since you don't have a favicon.ico in the root of your website, the request returns a 404 (not found) error from the webserver (and it's thus displayed in red).
It's nothing to worry about.
