If you ever find yourself needing to display a small icon for a 3rd party URL but don't want to have to crawl the site to pull out the favicon URL then you can make use of a Google CDN:
```
https://s2.googleusercontent.com/s2/favicons?domain_url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/
```
Example: ![](https://s2.googleusercontent.com/s2/favicons?domain_url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/)
Update 'content/posts/favicons.md'
2020-11-10 09:59:50 +00:00
You can even provide any page, not just the root URL.
e.g. `https://s2.googleusercontent.com/s2/favicons?domain_url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-54838856`: ![](https://s2.googleusercontent.com/s2/favicons?domain_url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-54838856)
