Favicons vanished on multiple sites but no code was changed

  • Happened across nearly all of our 7 sites.
  • No code in that area was changed
  • Effects all browsers / different users / different pcs
  • Purged site cache / Cloudflare cache
  • If you view source and click the favicon url they are there
  • Presumed might be a browser update / have effected others but could not find a common / current reference to anything like that.
  • Weirdly defaults to that of our host (Modx cloud) but their favicon is not mentioned in the DOM

Any suggestions, samples below:

Solution

  • Try removing <subtitle style="display: none;">Home</subtitle> from the head section of your template. I don't believe that is a valid tag for the head and seems to be causing the rest of the tags in the head section to be rendered as if they are in the body section.
