Silverstripe Version:
Question:
Hi. The company logo is incorrect when our website is being searched in any search engine (e.g. Google). The default Silverstripe logo is shown.
Please see the attached photos for reference.
// Include any relevant code. If you have a lot of code, link to a gist instead.
That logo is generally the favicon for the website. Looking at the source code, I can see one is there, but it may have been cached if you’ve only just added it. When I first visited the site, I saw the default Silverstripe icon, and had to do a hard refresh to get it to change.
You now seem to have:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="https://bismac.com.ph/index.php/assets/header/Bismac-Stacked-logo.png" type="image/x-icon" />
A couple of minor notes:
rel=“shortcut icon” is a legacy value. The standard now is just rel=“icon”
The image you’re using is over 1000px. You’d be much better off with a smaller, simpler version.
The file type is wrong for a favicon — type=“image/x-icon” is for .ico files, but you’re pointing to a .png. For a PNG favicon, use image/png.
Have a search for favicon generators online. There are plenty which will convert your files to the best formats, and give you proper markup to use them.
Hi. Thank you for the suggestions. I tried to convert the image to favicon format (or .ico). It still did not solve the problem
As I say, Google will aggressively cache things like the icon, so it may take some time to update. You may also find that checking with an incognito browser will give you different results, since a lot of preferences are stored locally.
