RSS feeds are XML files containing your website's newest content, used by news aggregators, feed readers, email subscriptions, and podcast lists. Squarespace automatically generates RSS feeds for all blog, products, events, gallery, and album pages.

Understanding RSS Feed URL Structure

Your RSS feed URL consists of:

  • Your full domain URL
  • Page slug
  • ?format=rss at the end

For built-in domains:

sitename.squarespace.com/pageslug?format=rss

For custom domains:

www.yourdomain.com/pageslug?format=rss

Finding Your RSS Feed URL Components

  1. Domain
  • Built-in domain: Found in Domains panel under "Built-in Domain"
  • Custom domain: Add "www." before your domain name

Filtering RSS Feeds

Add categories or tags to filter content:

For categories:

domain.com/pageslug?category=Categoryname&format=rss

For multi-word categories:

domain.com/pageslug?category=New%20Art&format=rss

For tags:

domain.com/pageslug?tag=Tagname&format=rss

For multi-word tags:

domain.com/pageslug?tag=Happy%20cats&format=rss

Pro tip: Using your built-in domain for RSS feeds is recommended as it's more reliable and won't be affected by domain changes or errors.
