Why are so many websites missing favicons in Google search results lately?
Posted by on January 24, 2026 at 9:44 amHas anyone else noticed this recently? I’m seeing way more sites in Google search results without a favicon next to them.
These are legit sites that used to have one, or new sites that don't get their favicon showing up for weeks/months.

Sure you are not looking at the ads rather than the organic results? Performance Max campaigns currently have an error with favicons, meaning that they don’t show up for those specific campaign ads. It sucks.

Google tightened some favicon requirements recently. Size, format, accessibility, or caching issues can all cause it to disappear temporarily
