What is a favicon?

A favicon is the small icon shown in browser tabs, bookmarks and, increasingly, next to your site in Google search results. This checker finds where the site's favicon is declared and loaded from, so you can see whether it is set up correctly.

How to check a website's favicon

Enter the domain in the box above.
Click Check Favicon.
Confirm a favicon was found and see which file and size it loads from.
Declare it with a <link rel="icon"> tag and provide at least a 48x48 icon so search engines can use it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Google needs a square icon of at least 48 x 48 pixels, declared with a link rel="icon" tag on the homepage, and crawlable by Googlebot. Updates can take a few weeks to show.

At least 32 x 32 for browser tabs, 180 x 180 for Apple devices and 192 x 192 or 512 x 512 for Android. The Favicon Generator creates all of them from one image.

Browsers cache favicons for a long time. Try a private window, or rename the file (for example favicon-v2.png) and update the link tag.
