Safari shows incorrect icons for bookmarks

How can I stop safari from using an incorrect icon for my bookmarks?

Several bookmarks suddenly had an airplane icon instead of website’s icon. The Google bookmark suddenly had an airplane instead of the colorful G.

I did find a tedious fix in this blog, but it must be done for each altered bookmark.

open bookmarks, click Edit, click the bookmark, change “www.google.com” to “google.com”
if your bookmark originally is “google.com” then change it to “www.google.com”

I’d like to know how to fix this permanently.

iPhone SE, iOS 15

Hello, sorry I’m not able to find the location you refer to:

“Temporarily turn off Safari for iCloud and then turn the feature back on. You'll need to go in Settings > tap your name at the top > iCloud > Safari. “

precisely, where is that? Best regards, Thank you. R.J. Wilson
