That particular error is a red herring - it means someone requested a file that doesn't exist. A favicon is the icon that appears to the left of the url bar in the browser, when a browser visits your site it will automatically request that file. Similarly, robots.txt contains instructions for bots crawling your site, so they automatically request it. Neither of these two will actually impact your site. What else is happening?
