Free individual check · without registration
Enter a page and check their icon references. The check shows reachable files, wrong paths and file types – with a help for browsers, Google and the iPhone home screen.
Previews only load an image file directly from the checked website on request.
Place the image files under the specified paths and complete the references in the HTML-head. This example uses a 96×96 pixel PNG for the favicon and a 180×180 pixel PNG for the iPhone home screen.

<link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="96x96" href="/favicon-96x96.png">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="180x180" href="/apple-touch-icon.png">The example does not generate image files. Adjust the paths and sizes to your actual files. Sizes and integration of the Apple Touch Icon in detail.
Open the output icon URL. Check spelling, upper case and subdirectories. icons/favicon.png is resolved relative to the document address; /icons/favicon.png Starts at the domain root. An HTML-base element can change relative paths.
Some systems provide their start page with status 200 for missing icons. This is not a usable icon. Check the server file type and routing rule. The HTML entry type="image/png" alone does not prove correct content.
Check the reference on the homepage, the accessibility for Googlebot and Googlebot image, and a square motif. Google calls at least 8×8 pixels and recommends more than 48×48 pixels. A fixed icon URL and a clear motive help; the ad remains Google’s decision.
A browser favicon does not automatically replace an explicit apple touch icon reference. Incorporate a matching PNG file and test the website again via “To the home screen”. An already stored symbol can still use the older representation.
The attribute describes the existing size; it does not scale the image. The check shows the declaration, but does not read pixel measurements from the file. Open the graph and check the actual dimensions.
A file under /favicon.ico or /apple-touch-icon.png can be reached without being linked in HTML. Add an explicit matching reference so that the desired file is unique.
The checker reads icon references from the delivered HTML, resolves their URLs and checks HTTP responses and file types. In addition, he tests the standard paths favicon.ico, favicon.svg and apple-touch-icon.png. It checks a maximum of 16 different linked files per pass.
No. Size information comes from the HTML attribute sizes. The tool does not render JavaScript, does not read pixel dimensions and does not evaluate icons defined in the Web App Manifesto. It checks the HTML page delivered by the server.
A square PNG with 180×180 pixels is a common starting point for the iPhone home screen. Link it to rel="apple-touch-icon" and a matching sizes indication. Additional sizes may be specified for other devices.
For a normal current integration, an explicit apple touch icon reference is sufficient. The precomposed variant comes from older iOS conventions. An old 404 call to it is not proof that the current homescreen icon is missing.
Browsers and devices often cache icons. First, check the current HTML reference and the file directly. Then compare in a fresh browser profile. A search engine snippet can only be updated after re-processing.
