Favicon checker

Search surfaces show your icon next to the result. The checker verifies the link and fetches the file to confirm it is a real image.

What it checks

Checks the icon link and fetches the file to verify reachability and image MIME type.

Icon link presence, file reachability, image content type (not HTML wearing a 200).

pass means link plus a reachable image file; a missing link, broken file or HTML-in-disguise all fail.

Reads the no-JS response only, never runs JS. Follows up to 5 redirects.
