I added a favicon to my website within the <head> section like this:
<link href="/Content/images/icons/tick-circle.png" type="image/x-icon" rel="shortcut icon">
<link href="/Content/images/icons/tick-circle.png" type="image/png" rel="icon">
Despite the correct location path, the favicon is not showing up when I visit the page. I was under the impression that these were the most up-to-date methods for specifying the icon for modern versions of IE and Firefox.
In my personal experience, I have found that using a favicon file with the extension .ico tends to work better than using a png file. It is also important to use the full domain name when linking to your favicon, rather than relying on relative links. If you encounter issues loading your favicon in the browser and simply refreshing the page does not solve the problem, try clearing your browser's cache before attempting to view the favicon again.
The following 3 favicon links have been tested and confirmed to work on various browsers and devices:
When implementing favicon code, it should resemble something like this:
<link rel="icon" href="http://www.domain.com/content/images/icons/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.domain.com/content/images/icons/favicon.ico" />
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="http://www.domain.com/content/images/icons/favicon.ico">
If you prefer to keep your links as relative paths without the .ico extension, consider the following code snippet:
<link rel="icon" href="/content/images/icons/tick-circle.png" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/content/images/icons/tick-circle.png" />
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/content/images/icons/tick-circle.png">
Don't forget about the importance of having a favicon for your website.
To set up a favicon, simply create an icon image and name it favicon.ico
<link href="/favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon" rel="icon" />For more information on the topic, check out the 'Accessibility' section on Wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon
Give this code a shot.
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="your icon path">
After implementing the code, be sure to clear your cache and restart your browser. The changes will be visible instantly on Chrome.
Consider using an .ico file rather than a png or any other format.
If your browser is older, it may require the icon to be in .ico format instead of png. It might be a good idea to make this change.
You can easily convert the file using tools like this one.
Additionally, remember to include the following code:
<link href="\favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon" rel="icon" />Lastly, if you encounter any issues, try clearing all cache rather than just the most recent hours.
Have you implemented something similar to this in your .htaccess file and then edited the image or made some changes?
# This is an example of what I have in my .htaccess file. It restricts downloads for a specified period of time
# 480 weeks
<FilesMatch "\.(ico|pdf|flv|jpg|jpeg|png|gif|swf)$">
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=290304000, public"
</FilesMatch>
It might not be directly related to your issue, but something like this could potentially be causing the browser to block those specific file extensions from being retrieved. Have you tried clearing your browser's cache?
Using PNG files for favicons has always been problematic in Internet Explorer. Recently, there have been reports that Firefox has also switched to only supporting the .ico format for favicons, but I cannot verify this information. Upon testing, I discovered that PNG files did not work properly for me in Firefox either.
Just a heads up, FireFox recently made the decision to stop displaying favicons for security reasons. This means that users may no longer see your site's favicon in their browser tab if they are using FireFox.

UPDATE: To ensure that your favicon is still displayed properly, here's the correct markup to use:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="images/favicon.png" type="image/x-icon" />
If you were having trouble with your original code, it might be due to the '/' before Content in the path to the favicon. Double check to make sure everything is set up correctly!
