  1. Make sure the website editor isn’t open in multiple browser tabs or devices simultaneously

  2. You've uploaded the supported file format: .PNG, .JPG or .JPEG

  3. You've updated the website after making the changes

It's also recommended to clear cache or:

  • Check the favicon by accessing your website via incognito mode/private browsing window

  • Open the website using another device (e.g., your smartphone, tablet, or friend's PC)

  • Open the website using different networks (Wi-Fi vs mobile data)
