About favicons

A favicon is the small icon shown in browser tabs, bookmarks, history and increasingly in search results. Modern sites declare several — a classic favicon.ico, PNG icons in various sizes, and an apple-touch-icon for iOS home screens.

This checker fetches the page, collects every declared icon (plus the conventional /favicon.ico fallback), and confirms each one actually loads — catching the common problem of an icon that is referenced but returns a 404. Working icons are previewed inline so you can see exactly what visitors get.

What does the favicon checker do?

It fetches the page, collects every declared icon (plus the conventional /favicon.ico fallback), and confirms each one loads, previewing the working icons inline.

Why does my favicon not show?

Often it is referenced but returns a 404, is served over HTTP, or the wrong format. This checker catches an icon that is declared but does not actually load.

What icons should I have?

A classic favicon.ico, PNG icons in a few sizes, and an apple-touch-icon for iOS home screens.

Is it live?

Yes. Both the page and each icon are checked server-side in real time.
