+Favicons are more than just a single icon, and they require proper optimisation to display correctly on all devices.
+

+
+## What is a Favicon?
+
+Favicons are most commonly used to display a custom icon on a browser tab, but they can also be used to alter the display of your website in other cases such as Android, IPhone, Windows, and Mac icons. 
+
+## How to Check Your Favicon
+
+Even if your website has a favicon, it may not be fully compliant.
+You can use [realfavicongenerator.net](https://realfavicongenerator.net/favicon_checker) to check your website.

+## How to Update Your Favicon
+
+[realfavicongenerator.net](https://realfavicongenerator.net) also has a favicon generator that you can use to generate a set of icons and meta tags from a single image.
+
+The site will guide you through all the settings and display a preview of how your favicon will look on each device.
