Common reasons: favicon.ico missing from root, wrong HTML link tag path, browser cached a 404, or the file returns the wrong Content-Type. Run the Favicon Checker for a specific diagnosis — it makes real HTTP requests to find the exact issue.
The Apple Touch Icon (180×180 PNG) appears when iOS users add your website to their iPhone or iPad home screen. Without it, iOS uses a blurry screenshot of your page as the icon. The Favicon Checker verifies whether it is correctly set up.
