I am trying to do a very simple preliminary exercise to setting up a website which is creating a favicon.
This is the code I am using:
<!DOCTYPE html > <html lang="en-US"> <head profile="http://www.w3.org/2005/10/profile"> <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" /> </head> </html> But it is not working - can anyone please assist? I've saved the file favicon.ico on the same level as my html file (on a subdirectory).
Many thanks

With the introduction of (i|android|windows)phones, things have changed, and to get a correct and complete solution that works on any device is really time-consuming.
You can have a peek at https://realfavicongenerator.net/favicon_compatibility or http://caniuse.com/#search=favicon to get an idea on the best way to get something that works on any device.
You should have a look at http://realfavicongenerator.net/ to automate a large part of this work, and probably at https://github.com/audreyr/favicon-cheat-sheet to understand how it works (even if this latter resource hasn't been updated in a loooong time).
One complete solution requires to add to you header the following (with the corresponding pictures and files, of course) :
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico"> <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="57x57" href="apple-touch-icon-57x57.png"> <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="114x114" href="apple-touch-icon-114x114.png"> <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="72x72" href="apple-touch-icon-72x72.png"> <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="144x144" href="apple-touch-icon-144x144.png"> <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="60x60" href="apple-touch-icon-60x60.png"> <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="120x120" href="apple-touch-icon-120x120.png"> <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="76x76" href="apple-touch-icon-76x76.png"> <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="152x152" href="apple-touch-icon-152x152.png"> <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="180x180" href="apple-touch-icon-180x180.png"> <link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="favicon-192x192.png" sizes="192x192"> <link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="favicon-160x160.png" sizes="160x160"> <link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="favicon-96x96.png" sizes="96x96"> <link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="favicon-16x16.png" sizes="16x16"> <link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="favicon-32x32.png" sizes="32x32"> <meta name="msapplication-TileColor" content="#ffffff"> <meta name="msapplication-TileImage" content="mstile-144x144.png"> <meta name="msapplication-config" content="browserconfig.xml"> In June 2016, RealFaviconGenerator claimed that the following 5 lines of code were supporting as many devices as the previous 18 lines:
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="180x180" href="/apple-touch-icon.png"> <link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/favicon-32x32.png" sizes="32x32"> <link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/favicon-16x16.png" sizes="16x16"> <link rel="manifest" href="/manifest.json"> <link rel="mask-icon" href="/safari-pinned-tab.svg" color="#5bbad5"> <meta name="theme-color" content="#ffffff"> I use this on my site and it works great.
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="images/favicon.ico"/> If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
