FAQs

I'm not seeing my favicon... HELP!

Favicons can take some time to update, so we recommend waiting a couple of hours for them to appear.

If it doesn’t show up, try clearing your browser’s cache/cookies and restarting your browser. You can also open your site in a private/incognito window to check if it appears there.
