To share your site's URLs effectively, follow these simple methods to ensure you're sharing the correct links that visitors can access.

Finding the Correct URL to Share

Never share URLs that contain "/config/" or "squarespace.com/config/" as these are admin URLs that require login. Instead, use these methods:

1. Incognito Mode Method:

• Open a private/incognito browser window
• Navigate to the page you want to share
• Copy the URL from the address bar
• Share the copied URL

2. Full Preview Method (for unlinked pages):

• Log into your site
• Navigate to the desired page
• Click the preview arrow in the top-left corner
• Copy the URL from the address bar

URL Structure Tips

When using a custom domain, replace the embedded domain in URLs:

• From:

  https://embedded-domain.squarespace.com/blog

• To:

  https://customdomain.com/blog

For blog homepages, you can simplify URLs:

• Full URL:

  https://example.com/blog/post-title

• Simplified:

  https://example.com/post-title

For portfolio homepages:

• Full URL:

  https://example.com/portfolio/subpage-title

• Simplified:

  https://example.com/subpage-title

Sharing Special Content

For Index Pages:

• Share either the main index page URL or individual page URLs
• Both options will direct visitors to the correct content

For Images and Files:

• Don't share direct image URLs (starting with images.squarespace-cdn.com)
• Instead, share the URL of the page containing the image

Social Media Integration

You can automate content sharing to social networks:

• Set up automatic sharing for new collection items
• Configure social sharing images for consistent branding
• Customize URL slugs for better link appearance

Remember to always test shared links while logged out to ensure they work properly for your visitors.
