Quick thoughts

Here’s a summary of my thoughts on the article:

  • The icon in the tab at the top of your browser window is called the Favicon

  • If a site has the generic WordPress logo (or generic Squarespace logo, or any other default logo), it’s a dead giveaway that the site owner hasn’t taken the time to fully polish their site.
  • If you have a generic favicon right now, I highly recommend heading over to the source article for step-by-step instructions for updating yours!

Excerpts from the article

  • “Removing the WordPress icon can prove to be extremely beneficial for you as it will allow you to design your own site icon and increase your brand recognition among customers.”
  • “The WordPress icon on your browser tab can make your website look generic and unprofessional. Most users have many tabs open in their browser which results in your website title being hidden.”
