Hi everyone,
I’ve put together a little plugin for iNaturalist, which allows you to make external links from the site’s taxon pages :
To make it more user-friendly, I’m displaying the favicons of the sites.
I use a Google function that I discovered on this occasion.
It worked fine at the start of the week :
But since yesterday the GBIF no longer has a favicon :
You can see from this link that it really doesn’t work any more.
Do you know who to contact to report this ‘major’ 
problem?
Strangely, it works if I add www. to the domain :
<img src="https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=gbif.org"> =>
<img src="https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=www.gbif.org"> =>
For other sites, I don’t have to specify www.
My problem is therefore less crucial, since I have an alternative.
I’m not an expert on domain names, but if anyone has an explanation as to why it worked yesterday but not today, I’d love to hear about it!
I don’t see any request to our systems when I open https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=gbif.org, so I think the question would be for Google.
Nothing on the configuration for gbif.org (which is just redirects) or www.gbif.org has changed recently.
Incidentally https://t3.gstatic.com/faviconV2?client=SOCIAL&type=FAVICON&fallback_opts=TYPE,SIZE,URL&url=https://gbif.org&size=16 (with https) does work.
As you can see from my previous message, or from this link, the problem solved itself today!
No more problems! 
It’s very strange: the favicon is visible about one day out of two without ‘www’.
Today it doesn’t work, but yesterday it did.
Here’s a URL to test the 2 options (with other sites for comparison).
