Favicon checker

The Favicon Checker tool verifies that a website has a favicon and that it is correctly implemented. It checks for the standard favicon.ico file at the root and also scans the HTML for tags pointing to alternative icon formats (e.g., PNG, SVG). If found, it reports the icon URL and confirms its accessibility.

Web designers and developers use this tool to ensure that their site displays correctly in browser tabs, bookmarks, and search results. A missing or broken favicon can make a site look unprofessional or neglected. The tool quickly identifies such issues.

Brand managers care about favicons because they reinforce brand identity every time a user has multiple tabs open. Consistent icon presence across all pages improves brand recall. The checker helps verify that all pages, including subdomains, serve a favicon.

For SEO, favicons are not a ranking factor, but they contribute to user experience. In search results, Google may display a favicon next to mobile search listings, making your result more recognizable and potentially increasing click-through rates. This tool ensures you are taking advantage of that visual real estate.
