A favicon is a very small, 16×16 or 32×32 pixel icon, symbol or logo that is typically displayed in the address bar of a browser to the left of the URL. (Source: Wikipedia)
The icon should be in .ico file format. Some graphics programs such as Adobe Fireworks offer the export of .ico files. Alternatively, there are also many online generators, e.g. www. favicon-generator.org/
The following line of TypoScript can be used to integrate a favicon for the frontend:
page.shortcutIcon = path/to/file/favicon.ico
