@@ -13,6 +13,7 @@ The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/),
 - **Smoother loading experience.** Pages now show a subtle preview of the layout while data loads instead of a blank screen or spinner. This applies everywhere — dashboards, settings, uptime, funnels, notifications, billing, and detail modals.
 - **No more loading flicker.** Fast-loading pages no longer flash a loading state for a split second before showing content.
 - **Clearer error messages.** When something goes wrong, the error message now tells you what failed (e.g. "Failed to load uptime monitors") instead of a generic "Failed to load data".
+- **Faster favicon loading.** Site icons in the dashboard, referrers, and campaigns now use Next.js image optimization for better caching and lazy loading.
