About this free favicon checker

Favicons and app icons appear in browser tabs, bookmarks, and sometimes SERP features. Missing icons look unprofessional and hurt brand recall.

List declared icon links on any page to ensure browsers and platforms pick up the right assets.

What it checks

  • link rel=icon and apple-touch-icon tags
  • Multiple sizes and formats if declared

Why it matters for SEO

  • Brand trust in tabs and mobile home screens
  • Some platforms use icons in UI surfaces beyond classic SERPs

How to use this tool

  1. Check after rebranding or CMS theme changes.
  2. Provide at least ICO/PNG favicon and apple-touch-icon for iOS.
  3. Reference icons from stable CDN URLs.

Common issues we help you catch

  • No favicon — browser shows generic glyph
  • Broken relative paths after CDN migration
  • Only one tiny 16px icon for all contexts
