Favicon Best Practices

Use PNG for modern browsers: PNG favicons support transparency and look crisp at all sizes
Keep favicon.ico for legacy support: Some older browsers and tools still look for favicon.ico in the root
SVG favicons are the future: Consider adding a SVG favicon with rel="icon" type="image/svg+xml" for scalable quality
Apple Touch Icon at 180x180: iOS will downscale as needed, so provide the largest recommended size
Test on real devices: Use tools like RealFaviconGenerator to verify how your icons appear across platforms
Cache busting: Browsers cache favicons aggressively. Append a version query string when updating
