Unlock the Secret to Boosting Your Website’s Identity with a Tiny Icon You Can Make Today
Why should you add a favicon to your website?
Favicons are one of those small things that make a big difference. Here’s why:
- Favicons improve the user experience: Favicons help people quickly navigate to your website when they have multiple tabs open. It also allows visitors to recognize your site in search results. This instantly elevates the website experience and enables people to find your website easily whenever they need.
- Favicons boost brand recognition: Favicons make your website instantly recognizable in a jungle of tabs or SERPs. Visitors will soon start associating and remembering your website with your custom favicon, regardless of the device they’re on. If you’ve used an iteration of your logo, favicons will also reinforce your brand identity and allow you to maintain consistent branding across marketing channels.
- Favicons lend your website some credibility: Generic favicons (like the globe sign) can make a website look unfinished or poorly maintained. Custom favicons, on the other hand, can instantly make a site look more reliable and professional.
Now you know why favicons are an essential addition to elevate any website. WordPress makes connecting them to your site easy, too — more on that in the upcoming sections.
