Troubleshooting Favicons

Common problems I see in the Webflow forums;

Why isn't my favicon showing in my tab?

Assuming you've uploaded your favicons in your General site config, and published your site, you should be fine.

If you're still not seeing it, clear your browser cache.

Why isn't Google showing my Favicon in search results?

It can be difficult to get Google to pickup Webflow's favicons, and it may be that these icon sized, formats or METAs are not "preferred" in some way, though I've not found any documentation to support that.

I've had busy sites who for years would not pick up the favicon on Google search results.

However, here are two approach that have consistently worked for me.

• Setup a Google Business Profile, and add your icon as your business logo. Although this is typically associated with Google Maps and local listing, you do not need an address to do this.  
• Setup Google Adwords, and add your icon as your business logo. You do not need to actually run Ads for this to work.

Why isn't Google showing my Favicon on mobiles?

In 99% of the situations I've seen, most likely, you have a 16x16 icon specified in your favicons. Google doesn't like this, and ends up not showing any favicon at all.

Google looks for and updates your favicon whenever it crawls your home page. If you make changes to your favicon and want to inform Google about the changes, you can request indexing of your site's homepage. Updates can take a few days or longer to appear in search results.

Why isn't my favicon showing for password-protected sites / pages?

SOLUTION: Most likely, you can define your favicon directly in the HEAD of your login page. [ untested ]
