Favicon don´t show up in Google search result?

Would anyone please tell me what I'm doing wrong with my favicon. As you can see in the picture, my icon doesn't want to show up on Google search results.

My site is: Econello

This can be an on-site or off-site issue.

On-site

https://www.econello.com/favicon.ico is a 0 byte resource. Since loading /favicon.ico is a well-known convention, Google might try to use it. To fix this issue, remove this file from your web site or populate it with a real icon.

This point aside, Google seems to load your icon correctly, check https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=www.econello.com. As a second check, you can view your site in the Google Search Console, where Google displays your favicon, too. Note that the Google Search Console is "faster" than the search engine itself: your icon may appear in GSC, then in Google's RP later.

Off-site

This feature completely depends on Google's good will.

If your site is not popular enough, Google might just never care to display its favicon in its result pages. Even if it has crawled your favicon.

Having your favicon displayed by Google takes time. It can easily takes more than a week, even if your site is reasonably popular (eg. a few hundreds of visits per day from Google).
