These are website links you saved to your homescreen. I had the same problems after updating to iOS 8. What I did was opening each of them by tapping the icon. Except for three links that didn't work any more, the other ones looked as before the update then.
You are very welcome, JCTC! Glad it worked. I didn't want to go through each and every one to reset (tho I started that way).... kept doing searches and I found that solution and it worked for me. Nice to know it helped someone else, too! I found the idea on another thread here (ipadforums), thread titled: iPad2 very slow after iOS8 install!!@jafromdundee : Thanks! The first method above worked, but with dozens of shortcuts, it was getting tedious. How did you figure that out???
They look like web sites you saved. Try opening each one and see if it updates the icon. If not just save the website again to the desktop
