favicon.ico — The favicon file (supports both 16*16 and 32*32 dimensions).
You can add a favicon to your web page by uploading favicon.ico to your
website and inserting the following HTML tag inside the
section of your web page.
Optional: if you would like to display the animated favicon, upload
animated_favicon1.gif as well and insert the following HTML tags.
If you would like to test the favicon after updating your web page, the
Favicon Validator can check the favicon files and tags on your website.
