About Favicon Test

Check if your site is using and correctly implementing a favicon. Favicons are small icons that appear in your browser's URL navigation bar. They are also saved next to your URL's title when your page is bookmarked. This helps brand your site and make it easy for users to navigate to your site among a list of bookmarks.

To add a favicon to your site, you need to have your logo created in a 16x16 PNG, GIF or ICO image and uploaded to your web server. Then it's simply a matter of adding the following code into the header of your HTML code for your web pages:

        <head>
          <link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="url_to_my_favicon" />
          <title>My Title</title>
        </head>

In the example above the "url_to_my_favicon" refers to the actual location of your favicon file.
