What does the Favicon Checker audit?

It checks for favicon.ico, PNG favicons (16×16, 32×32), Apple touch icons, Android/PWA icons (192×192, 512×512), web manifest, maskable icons, and meta tags like theme-color and msapplication-TileColor.

How do I fix missing favicons?

Use our Favicon Generator tool to create a complete favicon package, then upload the files to your site root and add the provided HTML code to your head section.

Why is a 512×512 maskable icon important?

Maskable icons allow PWAs to display properly on Android devices with adaptive icon shapes. Without one, your icon may be cropped or displayed incorrectly.
