What Is a Site Icon in WordPress?

A WordPress site icon is a small graphic that appears in the address bar of your browser when you are visiting your WordPress site. It is a recognizable image that can help you easily find your WordPress site.

When you create a new WordPress site, the site administrator can choose either a custom icon or one of the built-in WordPress icons. If you choose a custom icon, you can upload a PNG, JPG, or GIF image to your site’s media folder.

When you create a new post or page, the WordPress site administrator can choose one of the built-in post or page icons.

The site administrator can also choose to have WordPress display the site’s name in the address bar when visitors visit your site. To do this, you must add a site title tag to your WordPress site’s header.
