Why is my icon not showing in HTML website?

Question

I am not able to see the icon beside the title of the webpage...Why is that?

Here is the line of code where I have put it and both the icon and the HTML file are in the same directory -

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

You should put this line inside your `head` tag, is it the case? — Alexandre Elshobokshy, Aug 31 '20 at 06:58
You can add full url to icon. And in case that shows old icon, add version. `favicon.ico?v=1` — Davor Mlinaric, Aug 31 '20 at 07:00
I tried /favicon.io it still doesn't work It is in the head tag When I remove type="image/x-icon" it still doesn't work — codeboy80, Aug 31 '20 at 07:12
