Uploading The Favicon.ico File
Connect to your server and upload your Favicon.ico file to your website. You must place it into the same directory as your home (index) page, and leave it loose, making sure not to put it in an images directory or other folder.

Some browsers will look for a direct link in the HTML source code to your site’s favicon.ico file. You can help these browsers by adding this link in the head section of each page on which you want the Favicon.ico to appear.

Here is the link code to include: <link rel=”Shortcut Icon” href=”/favicon.ico>

Once you’ve added this code, upload all of your modified pages.

Testing
If your new Favicon does not show up right away, try refreshing the page — or put a ‘?’ at the end of the url, which will trick a browser into thinking the page is new and not cached.
