Favicon for GoDaddy
GoDaddy Website Builder stores your favicon in site settings and serves it on every published page. Upload a square PNG, publish your site, and GoDaddy injects the correct <link> tags — no FTP required on standard plans.
Quick answer
To add a favicon in GoDaddy Website Builder, go to Settings → Favicon, upload a square 512×512 PNG, save, and publish — use the Favicon Generator to create the file and the Favicon Checker to verify it loads on your live domain.
Check favicons on any website
Install the FetchFavicon Chrome Extension to extract, preview, and validate favicons instantly.
Open GoDaddy Website Builder, go to Settings → Favicon (in some dashboards: Website → Site Settings → Favicon or Site Icon). Upload a square PNG — GoDaddy works best with 192×192 or larger; start from 512×512 for sharp tabs after downscaling.
Use the Favicon Generator to export a square PNG or favicon.ico from your logo, then upload it in the Favicon panel. GoDaddy serves the icon from its CDN on every published page automatically.
After saving, publish your site and open your live domain in a private window. Browsers cache favicons heavily — if you still see the old icon, force a page reload or test in an incognito window.
If your GoDaddy favicon is not showing, run your live URL through the Favicon Checker to confirm the icon path returns 200. Our favicon not showing troubleshooting guide covers cache, CDN, and publish-delay issues that also affect GoDaddy sites.
Google Search needs a crawlable icon of at least 48×48 linked from your homepage. See our Google favicon requirements guide if your tab icon works but Google still shows a blank or outdated favicon.
Changing a favicon in GoDaddy Website Builder requires publishing after upload — preview mode may still show the previous icon until the site is live.
