HTML favicon won't show on google chrome

Question

I am making a HTML page that is unpublished . One of the things I wanted to do was add a favicon to appear next to the title. I\'m using google chrome and I noticed that oth

Answer 1

Another reason for Chrome not displaying the favicon is that it still remembers a time when the site in question did not have a favicon or the favicon was incorrectly configured.

You're going to want to completely wipe the favicon cache:

1. Exit all running Chrome processes.

2. Delete the Favicons file in your user data folder. For example:

   C:\Users\me\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Favicons
   

This can not be resolved by clearing the browser cache, as it does not affect the Favicons container.

Also note that, contrary to what you might read online, requests to favicon resources are not shown in the Network panel of the DevTools. Under very rare circumstances, one such request may show up there, but it is highly unlikely and the DevTools will not help you solve your favicon woes.
