Adding a favicon to your Shopify store is an important step when you run a website. In this article, we look at why it is important to have a favicon and how you can add one to your store.
\n
A favicon is the little image that sits next to the name of the page you\u2019re on within the browser. It is 32 x 32 pixels large and appears the same on all pages, regardless of what the page is about. However, you need to add the favicon to your site in order for it to display. There is no default setting for any website.<\/p>\n
There are numerous reasons why you might want to add a favicon to your Shopify store. Here are some of the common reasons.<\/p>\n
Sites with favicons added to them will perform better than those that don\u2019t. Therefore, that 32 x 32 image can add traffic to your site and improve revenues. To help, all favicons should have the site\u2019s main meta tags associated with it.<\/p>\n
Customers expect to see a favicon on your site. Therefore, when you don\u2019t have one it makes your site look incomplete or unprofessional.<\/p>\n
Finally, it allows customers to know more about your brand within seconds. If you have a picture of a plant, then customers will instantly know you\u2019re about gardening or nature. It helps to connect the customer to your brand too, which will help with conversions.<\/p>\n
