What Does the Favicon Checker Test?
The favicon checker analyzes a website's HTML and server to verify that favicons are correctly configured. It checks for:
- favicon.ico — The classic favicon file at the website's root directory
- PNG favicons — Modern <link rel="icon"> tags with PNG images in standard sizes (16×16, 32×32)
- Apple Touch Icon — The 180×180 icon used when iOS users add your site to their home screen
- Web App Manifest — The manifest file containing 192×192 and 512×512 icons for Android and PWA support
- SVG favicon — Optional scalable vector icon for modern browsers
Why Check Your Favicon?
A properly configured favicon helps with brand recognition, improves your appearance in browser tabs and bookmarks, and ensures your site looks professional in Google search results. Missing or broken favicons can make your site appear untrustworthy to visitors.
