What is it?
A favicon (short for 'favorite icon') is a small icon associated with a particular website, displayed in browser tabs, bookmark lists, and mobile home screens. The traditional favicon is a 16×16 pixel .ico file, but modern websites require multiple sizes and formats: 16×16 and 32×32 for browser tabs, 180×180 for Apple Touch Icon, 192×192 and 512×512 for Android, and SVG for scalable displays. Proper favicon implementation requires linking to these files in the HTML <head> section with appropriate rel attributes like 'icon', 'apple-touch-icon', and 'manifest'.
