    I've added a new favicon to a website, which is displayed on browser tabs, on both mobile & desktop devices.

    But, in SERPs on mobile devices, the old favicon is still showing - How do I flush this our so that the new one is displayed?

      Favicons have become increasingly complex.  Browsers store them, they come to be differentiated by the implementation of the schema etc.. ie we have one client who is using 6 favicons off the same website.

      So to answer properly someone has to do a technical dive.

      To assist each operating system has different favicon requirements - so in your instance would look at how many variations of the favicon you have.  ie

      • favicon.ico with 16×16, 32×32 icon sizes
      • favicon-16x16.png: Modern equivalent of original ICO format
      • favicon-32x32.png: Safari
      • apple-touch-icon-180.png: Apple touch icon
      • icon-192.png: Chrome/Android
      • safari-pinned-tab.svg: Safari pinned tab SVG
      • mstile-150x150.png: MS tile

      Hope that helps. It does sound like a technical implementation issue rather than a crawl issue.

      Good luck.

          Hi,
          Have you tried to request the indexing of the urls through Google Search Console? Until Google does not track your website it will not appear on the serps. In my case, it did not take long for me to appear on the mobile serps.

            Should I Change My Blog Permalinks to Remove The Date

            page url

            Hi All Thank you in advance for any help. Last year a website was moved to multisite and the permalinks for the blog posts were changed to include a category, the year, the month and day. As a result most of the page URL's are flagged as too long. A number of the pages are receiving good traffic, so my question is whether just to leave them as they are or to change the permalinks? My gut feeling is to take the short term hit and change the permalinks, but I thought I'd take the advice of the forum before doing so. Many Thanks

            On-page SEO

            onpage

            This is a question for the organic SEO experts, once you added the main keyword that you want to rank for in the homepage title, meta title plus meta description, perhaps once or twice in the text on the homepage. How often do you then write it in the content marketing, say blog posts, we want to rank higher on Google for "SEO agencies Cardiff" however if you mention this in the blog posts too much say once a week, this could lead to over optimisation issues?

            Meta descriptions

            Whats the deal with the date at the start of the meta descriptions? I have not really looked into this but I'm guessing its a blog thing? Take this search http://www.google.co.uk/search?aq=f&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=6packproject#hl=en&xhr=t&q=interview+with+paul+knight&cp=26&pf=p&sclient=psy&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=interview+with+paul+knight&pbx=1&fp=835cd241c8d51fff The beautifully crafted meta description is now being cut short even though its within the character limit and is now only showing 36 characters! Is there a way to remove this? Thanks in advance
