Importance of adding a Favicon

A favicon is a small icon next to your url in your browser, it makes the website look more professional by branding it, you can use a favicon generator or get one from favicon galleries that are available online. It can also make your tab stand out from other tabs, when someone is browsing multiple websites.

All you need to do is make a favicon.ico and upload it to your root folder and the internet browsers automatically serve it.
