What is a favicon? It’s that little icon that represents your website’s identity that appears on your web browser’s tab. You or your web designer probably set your favicon when you launched your website. Besides looking cool, Favicons help distinguish your website on a desktop when the user has multiple Tabs open.
On mobile devices, if the user saves your website to their home screen, your favicon will display as the icon on multiple devices. WordPress now has one primary place for site owners (no matter what WordPress theme they are using) to add their favicons. If yours is missing, then I have sure you have followed by advise and solution.
Google disabled favicon from showing up on Desktop search. However, Google is reportedly tweaking its search result appearance to see if it is good to bring it back.
