Why is my favicon not showing up in Webflow, even though I re-uploaded it and it displays correctly in project settings?

TL;DR

Hey there! What can I help you with today?

If your favicon isn't showing up in Webflow even though you've uploaded it and see it correctly in the project settings, here are the most common reasons and fixes:

1. Browser Cache

Modern browsers aggressively cache favicons. Try:

  • Hard-refreshing your site (Cmd + Shift + R on Mac or Ctrl + Shift + R on Windows).
  • Clearing the browser cache or testing in Incognito Mode.
  • Using a different browser or device to check.

2. Publishing Issue

Even though it's uploaded, the favicon won’t take effect until you re-publish your site:

  • Go to Webflow Designer or Dashboard.
  • Click Publish and choose your domain(s).

3. File Format or Size Problem

Webflow recommends a .ico, .png, or .svg file under 4MB.
Check that your favicon is:

  • Square (e.g., 32x32 or 64x64 px)
  • Not corrupted

4. Custom Code Overwrite

If you’ve added custom head code (like your own <link rel="icon" ...> tag), it might be:

  • Overriding Webflow’s default
  • Pointing to an old, broken link

5. Wrong Domain

Make sure you're viewing your published live domain, not just the Webflow subdomain (unless you published to both).

Would you like help checking whether the favicon is showing on your live site right now?
