Lordicon vs PHP-Noise

Lordicon is a library of 46,400+ static and animated (Lottie/JSON-based) icons, embeddable via its player script or fetched directly from its CDN with no key required for free use; paid plans unlock the full catalog and commercial licensing. A live GET against the real asset host, cdn.lordicon.com, returned a genuine 404 for a made-up asset ID while carrying Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, reconfirming both auth None and cors yes — the marketing homepage itself sends a stricter, non-wildcard CORS header, but that isn't the asset-serving endpoint.

PHP-Noise generates a seeded, tileable static-noise PNG background image on every request, sized and colored via query-string parameters, with no signup or key. A live GET against the real host returned a genuine PNG carrying Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, reconfirming both auth None and cors yes.
