Implement favicons for all devices

Missing or low-quality favicons make sites look unprofessional in browser tabs, bookmarks, and home screens—damaging brand recognition and user trust.

Quick Reference

  • Minimum: favicon.ico (32x32) + apple-touch-icon.png (180x180)
  • Modern: SVG favicon with dark mode support
  • PWA: Include in manifest.json with multiple sizes
  • Use RealFaviconGenerator or favicons npm package

Check

Verify that all necessary favicon formats and sizes are implemented correctly for optimal display across different browsers, devices, and platforms.

Fix

Generate and implement a complete favicon set including ICO, PNG, SVG, and mobile/PWA icons with proper HTML declarations.

Explain

Explain how proper favicon implementation improves brand recognition, user experience, and ensures consistent display across all browsers and devices.
