Check whether a site has a favicon at common paths
After finishing a website build, you might want to confirm the favicon is actually set up correctly — or you're simply curious which path a particular site keeps its icon file at. This tool takes a URL and automatically checks a handful of the most common default paths to see whether an icon file exists at any of them.
A website's HTML source normally specifies a tag pointing to wherever the icon file actually lives, and that path can be anywhere — it isn't limited to the site's root directory. But browsers block page scripts from reading another site's source code directly, as a basic cross-origin security restriction, so this tool has no way to actually parse out the real icon path a site declares. Instead, it falls back to checking a set of conventional, widely used default locations to see whether an icon file happens to exist there.
Not necessarily. If a site stores its icon at an unconventional, custom path rather than one of these default locations, this tool won't be able to detect it and will report "not found" — even though the site's favicon shows up perfectly fine in an actual browser tab, because the browser itself can read the site's real source configuration, something this tool can't do as an independent third-party page. So treat the result here as a quick check against common conventions, not a definitive verdict.
Use it to confirm your own site's icon is sitting at a default path before launch, to satisfy curiosity about where a familiar site's icon file actually lives, or to quickly grab a site's icon file for your own bookmarking or organizing. The entire check runs locally in your browser with no server relay involved.
