Website icons are missing on my favourites

Hello,


Not sure if anyone can help me. I've seen a few solutions for this however they are all outdated now.


I have a handful of websites in my bookmarks/favourites section on Safari. Including well known sites such as Facebook, Google, Twitter etc.

However I've noticed that a few of them down have the icons for the website. No idea why because when I visit the site you can see the icon on the tab.


Anyone know how to restore them so they all appear and don't have ones missing?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.3

Usually this happens when a user clears history.

Try visiting those sites with generic icons. That should replenish it.

Clearing History is like a low level resetting Safari.
