    Default what favicon do you see on my website?

    For the last few days when I open my website .: Smart Pixels - By Jahangir Agha :. I see a very strange thing that is "India's flag as favicon" on my site. Below is the screenshot what I am seeing here.



    Can you please open up my site and see what favicon are you seeing?

    I am getting worried, cuz I think someone from India is hacking my website and he is putting his country's flag on my favicon

    Do you have own hosting account or using someone else's subfolder?

    If there is a favicon.ico file in the root - it may show up on all pages, even if it's a subfolder

    No, I am not using anyone else's subfolder. I think I am using a shared account - not sure.

    One of my friend said that my browser might cached some other site's favicon and showing it with my smartpixels, but I don't remember any site I opened which had that flag's icon.

    I don't see any either. Is it possible you visited a site earlier and it remained in your address bar?

    I don't know what could be the reason. I don't remember any site I Opened that had the indian flag in favicon. May be its my browser's issue, it is getting favicon from some other site.

    use ccleaner to clear all your cache and temp files, i have this with some of my sites on my other computer (one i never use anymore) most of the time its just cached on the machine you are working on, clear the cache on you machine and history and temp files. also if you have a cache folder on your server you might want to clear that too. (most cms sites have a cache folder)
