QA finding
The web framework's stock favicon or 404 page is still in place
QA Warning Severity: Low
Part of the audit Leftovers that shipped with the site. Finding id: qa.frameworkDefaults.
What it costs you
Tabs and bookmarks show the framework's logo instead of yours, which tells visitors the site was never finished.
What to do
Replace the icon file with your own and declare it in the head of every page.
What it checks
- Default icon or error page left in
How to fix it
Replace the favicon
- Replace the file at [address] with your own icon; in Next.js app projects it is app/favicon.ico, in Vite projects public/vite.svg with the link in index.html.
- Deploy, then reload the page with the cache cleared.
How to check: Run this rule again: the file no longer matches the framework's icon.
