Google’s John Mueller confirmed that Google Search is engaged on a difficulty with some favicons not exhibiting up correctly in Google Search. The difficulty has been ongoing for weeks (round September 18th), properly earlier than the brand new website title and favicon launch was introduced, by the way in which.

John referred to as this a “area of interest” challenge, implying it’s not too widespread. However I’m not positive the definition of “area of interest” as a result of I have been listening to about this challenge for weeks.

Stefan shared an instance of the Google Retailer having this challenge, and sure, I can replicate it:

He added on Twitter “we have been having points with favicons not being displayed for months now and mockingly Google’s Retailer is in the identical boat. Have you ever seen any of this?” Sure, sure, I’ve.

There are additionally some examples on the Google Webmaster Assist Boards of this challenge.

So I requested John Mueller who replied on Twitter “We have regarded into it, and the group has been engaged on resolving this, however afaik it is extra of a distinct segment challenge.”

We have regarded into it, and the group has been engaged on resolving this, however afaik it is extra of a distinct segment challenge. (Additionally, I would not assume that Google websites get search engine optimization proper robotically, we’re folks too :-))
