Favicon

Quick Definition

A favicon is the small icon that appears in browser tabs and is now also displayed next to URLs in mobile search results.

In context

Provide multiple favicon sizes (16x16, 32x32, 48x48, 192x192, 512x512) for different contexts. A clear, recognizable favicon improves mobile SERP CTR — Google shows it next to your listing on mobile.
