Favicon

A favicon is a small image displayed beside the website address and the title. To include a favicon for your website:

Step 1: Prepare a 16*16-pixels image.

Step 2: Convert the image type to '.ico'. This can be done at http://favicon-generator.org/ or https://www.websiteplanet.com/webtools/favicon-generator/.

Step 3: Name the file 'favicon.ico'.

Step 4: Upload the icon file to the root directory.

Placing the favicon in the root directory of the domain causes the icon to be displayed for all pages of the domain, including those in the subdirectories.

To use different favicons for different pages, include the following in the <head> section of the webpages:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon"> <link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon"> where 'href' specifies the location of the favicon.

Note that Internet Explorer caches the favicon. For a new favicon to be displayed in Internet Explorer, you must delete the browsing history.
