In Next.js, the favicon can be added by placing the favicon.ico file in the public directory. However, sometimes the favicon may not show up due to caching issues.
To ensure the favicon is being loaded properly, follow these steps:
- Make sure the favicon.ico file is present in the public directory of your Next.js project.
- Clear the browser cache to ensure the latest favicon is being fetched.
- Verify that the favicon link tag is included in the
<head>section of your HTML document. - Double-check the path of the favicon.ico file and ensure it is correctly referenced in the link tag.
- If you are using a custom server configuration, ensure that the static files are being served correctly.
Here’s an example of how the favicon link tag should be included in your HTML document:
<link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
