Favicon Issue in Chrome

Question

I have an issue regarding the favicon.ico

When ever I view the source of the site there is a link for favicon.ico

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

When i click on the href link it does redirect me to right image.
I can't figure out what is the problem.

Answer 1

try this maybe the browser cant handle "shortcut icon"

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

or if the website is local it wont work in chrome.
