Hi @Pajchel
It will take a few days for Google to index and update your site’s favicon on search results!
Topic summary
A user reports their favicon displays correctly in browser tabs but not in Google search results, despite following guidelines. They encountered errors when requesting indexing and are concerned about competitive disadvantage.
Initial troubleshooting:
- The favicon was originally sized at dimensions other than standard recommendations
- User was advised to resize to 32x32px or 16x16px (standard sizes)
- Site launched approximately one month ago
Resolution & consensus:
Multiple respondents confirmed that Google requires several weeks to crawl and index favicon changes, even when the icon displays correctly in browsers. The delay is normal and expected.
Current status:
User resized favicon to 32x32px as recommended. The issue remains unresolved but is attributed to Google’s indexing timeline rather than a technical problem. Participants advise patience while waiting for Google to update search results.
