To force a refresh of favicon on your web browser, try the following trick: In addition, some web browsers do not refresh or recheck for new favicon.ico file even though the favicon file was previously nonexistent, and continued to show the generic blank favicon. The web browser will reuse the cached version of favicon instead of requesting and downloading the favicon.ico from the server, until the cached image expires.
The issue arises when the favicon.ico file has been cached by the web browser. In any case, a web browser may or may not refresh the newly updated favicon to replace the old favicon despite the favicon.ico file has been updated. Or no favicon was created during the initial creation of the new site or blog, where no icon or generic favicon is shown instead. Favicon, acronym for favorite icon, which is also known as shortcut icon, website icon, URL icon, or bookmark icon, is an important image that provides a graphical identification for a website for easy recognition on browser’s window, tab or shortcut, favorite or bookmark.įavicon may be changed by webmaster on re-branding or redesign of the site.
