Uploading duplicate files

The page may load duplicates if the same file has different links. Compare https://example.com/image.png?v=1001 and https://example.com/image.png?v=2001. The file is the same, but due to different parameters in the URL, the browser will download the image.png file 2 times.

Make the link the same for different sections of the code. So, you will speed up page loading.

Duplicates when using hash

The following 2 images link to a single physical file:

<img src="./images/sprite.svg#element-1" />
<img src="./images/sprite.svg#element-2" />

Browsers, when uploading images, perceive the hash as a separate link, so they will upload the image./images/sprite.svg 2 times. To prevent this from happening, do not use a hash in the file path.
