Hi there,

For optimal favicon implementation, you should add it in a single location through Site Settings > General tab > Icons. Using multiple favicon implementations (like in both Site Settings and Custom Code) can create conflicts that prevent proper display.

To ensure your favicon works correctly:

  1. Remove any favicon code from the Head code section
  2. Keep the favicon only in Site Settings
  3. Use a 32x32 pixel favicon image for optimal display
  4. Publish your site and refresh your browser to see the changes

Hopefully this helps! If you still need assistance, please reply here so somebody from the community can help.

Hi Kylie,

I have a tool here where you can see what Google has indexed for your favicon;

Google Favicons

Enter your exact domain with the https;

https://www.premiumprinting.sg

It looks like it hasn’t indexed anything useful.

You might be able to expedite that by adding an Organization JSON-LD schema;

I have the same problem. I added a favicon in the correct size of 32*32 pixels two months ago, but the favicon only appears in the browser tab, not in Google search. I have created about a hundred websites on React, WordPress, Next.js, and regular CSS/HTML/JS, and I have never had any problems. The site is indexed, robots.txt is configured correctly, Organization JSON-LD schema is added, but there is no result. The service Google Favicons shows the icon. The site is added to Google Search Console, Request indexing is completed… Does anyone have any ideas why the icon is not displayed?

Google uses a different process for displaying favicons in search results than browsers do for tabs. A browser can display a 32x32 pixel icon, but Google’s crawlers follow a specific set of guidelines.

Google’s minimum recommendation: To ensure your favicon displays correctly in Google search results, you must provide a version that is a multiple of 48x48 pixels (e.g., 48x48, 96x96, 144x144, 192x192). While the technical minimum is 8x8 pixels, a size of 48x48 or greater is recommended for consistent, high-quality rendering.
