Why is my favicon not showing in Chrome?

Your browser has cached your site as one without a favicon When you add a favicon to your site, it may not show up since your browser has 'saved' your site as one without a favicon. You need to clear the cache in your browser or use a different browser.

How do I show the favicon in the address bar?

Log in to your website's control panel and upload the ". ico" file to your domain's root directory. Web browsers will automatically search for the Favicon. ico file in a site's root directory, and the image will appear in the address bar, favorites list and bookmarks for your website.

How do I find my favicon in Chrome?

In the address bar, enter chrome://favicon/ , followed by the url.

The globe icon in Chrome's address bar refers to whether or not the current site uses HTTPS, a common web security protocol. Since Chrome doesn't display favicons in this region, your site is working properly.
