XF 2.2 XenForo favicon question

[RisteDimitrievski]

Why Xenforo doesn't put default favicon for clients like vBulletin do in their software too?

 

[Paul B]

How is the XF favicon relevant to any other site than this one?

There is a setting in the style properties to define your own.

 

[RisteDimitrievski]

I mean the default favicon. vBulletin has their own, but they put in their release their default favicon..

 

[Paul B]

It's in the package should you want to use it for some reason.

Just set the path in the SPs.



Ideally though, create one unique for your site and use that.

There should be default one
I also think that Google likes to see favicons
So it is important

Google or search engines don’t care if you have a favicon or not.

Google or search engines don’t care if you have a favicon or not.

But the people skimming through the search engine results page might care

I thought Google Search Console reported an error that I did not have one (I may be wrong)
Also My webhost reports lots of errors missing for Apple Icons (in word press)
But I do not use Word Press!

Knowing this frustrates me.

Google knows the favicon I use. I checked it with their link:

The favicon in the link is just an example

https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=veganthingsworld.com

But my super cool favicon doesn't show up in the serp – the place where things actually matter.

The favicon Google uses to display my links makes my site look like some cheap-ass security risk.
