I read Google’s guidelines for favicons (Define Website Favicon for Search Results | Google Search Central  |  Documentation  |  Google Developers) and I noticed that webflow is asking for a 32px square image while Google asks for a multiple of 48px. I’m guessing this is why the icon is not being displayed correctly. What do you think?

Please help!
