Common questions
What is a favicon?
The small icon shown in browser tabs, bookmarks and history next to your page title.
Is the favicon checker free?
Yes. Check any public page with no account and nothing to install.
Why is my tab icon missing?
Usually no icon link in the page head, a wrong file path, or a cached old version in the browser.
What size should a favicon be?
A square PNG or SVG at 32 pixels and up covers tabs and bookmarks; larger sizes suit touch icons.
Does a favicon affect seo?
Indirectly — it shows in some search results and makes the listing look finished, which can earn clicks.
