How long ago did you add this icon?

It may take weeks for google to crawl your website again. I think you can trigger crawling manually from google search console

i have this problem aswell. site has been live for over 2 months with the custom favicon, the homepage was last crawled on 11 March. i was just hoping it will go away

@Mark did you verify your favicon is actually correct?

Mark · Answer

It shows up on the tab, and google search console, but not in search results.

Jeremy · Answer

Google caches favicons. You might need to just simply wait for a bit.

Mark · Answer

Thanks @Jeremy . I thought as much.

Mark · Answer

Or maybe it even cached on my PC somewhere

Oleg Isonen · Answer

are you self-hosting?

Oleg Isonen · Answer

google probably checks first if there is icon under that path and only then checks the icon in the. <link> tag
