I am getting this intermittent error for some visitors to my site where even though I’ve specified a favicon in this format:
<link type="image/png" href="icon.png" rel="icon" />
Some users are still getting a 404 error for favicon.ico as if some browser by default is looking for that filename. I’m having a lot of trouble tracking down how this could be happening as I’ve never used anything called favicon.ico. Anyone have an idea? Thanks.
Put an a “.ico” file in the root directory and name it favicon.ico so that all browsers will understand the favourite icon.
