What is Favicon?

Favicon refers to shortcut icon, browser tab icon, or bookmark icon. It’s a square size icon that can be found on the left edge of your browser tab.

Why Favicon is important?

Favicon is your website & brand identity. It also has positive impact on SEO & helps your visitors to recognize your site quickly among multiple tabs and bookmarks.

How to implement Favicon on your website

It depends on the type of your website.

If you use WordPress as the CMS, navigate to “Appearance => Customize” and then “Site Identity“. Now you will see an option called “Site Icon“. This is the option where you can upload your Favicon on your WordPress site.

Implement Favicon on Static HTML Website

Firstly, upload your favicon in the root directory or in a folder. And then link your favicon icon within the “head” tag. The link code will look like the following:

<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="image/favicon.png">

Assuming you uploaded the favicon.png in a folder called “image”.

Reference: w3.org.

A favicon can be in three formats: png, jpg & ico. Most of the site owners use PNG format with transparent background. Use whatever format you are comfortable with.
