Missing favicon: how to add one properly

Polish · Polish · vibeliq reports this as “No favicon: your browser tab looks unfinished”

Why it matters

The little tab icon is how people find you among 40 open tabs. A missing one makes a site feel abandoned or fake.

How to check it yourself

Look at your site's browser tab. A blank page icon or the framework's default logo means no favicon of your own.

What the fix involves

Add an icon file where your framework expects it: app/icon.svg in Next.js, or a link rel='icon' tag pointing at a file in your public folder.

How vibeliq checks it

We load your page the way a visitor's browser would, read what your server sends back, and look at a short list of well-known addresses on your site. If this turns up, your report explains it in plain English and gives you a prompt, written for Claude Code, Cursor, Lovable or whatever built your site, that fixes it in your actual codebase.
