Favicon Link Checker (from pasted HTML)
100% PrivateWebsite & Webmaster ToolsAudit the favicon link tags in pasted HTML and see what is present and what is missing.
Runs entirely in your browser. Your input is not uploaded to Ovatly or anywhere else.
This checker reads the favicon link tags declared in HTML you paste. It cannot verify that the icon files actually exist on the server, only what the markup declares.
- 1Copy your page's <head> section (or the whole source).
- 2Paste it into the box.
- 3Read the inventory of declared icons.
- 4Work through the missing list: each item says which size is absent and who asks for it.
Pasting a head that declares /favicon.ico (rel="icon", type image/x-icon) and an apple-touch-icon at 180x180 finds 2 declared icons. The missing list reports: no 16x16 icon, no 32x32 icon, no 192x192 icon, and no 512x512 icon.
- This tool cannot check that the files exist, their image contents, or their real pixel dimensions; it audits the link tags only.
- Icons declared in a web app manifest (manifest.json) are not visible in HTML: 192x192 and 512x512 icons usually live there, so check your manifest before adding duplicate link tags.
- A scalable SVG icon (sizes="any") satisfies the 16x16 and 32x32 checks because browsers scale it to the requested size.
A browser tool cannot fetch your site cross-origin, and Ovatly runs no fetching server. Pasting the head works for live pages, staging and templates alike.
About this tool
The Favicon Link Checker audits the favicon declarations in HTML you paste: it lists every icon link tag with its sizes and type, then checks the set against what browsers, phones and home screens commonly request. It checks the declarations only, and says so: whether the icon files exist on your server is something only a request to the server can prove.
