Share pages from your website by copying and sharing the URL. Always ensure you're using the correct URL format for public sharing, as logged-in URLs won't work for visitors.

Sharing URLs While Logged In

When logged in, your URL might look like:

https://example.squarespace.com/config/pages

This format won't work for sharing. Instead, use these methods to get the correct public URL:

  1. Using Incognito Mode (For Navigation Pages):
  • Open a private/incognito browser window
  • Visit your site without logging in
  • Navigate to the desired page
  • Copy the URL from the address bar
  1. Using Full Preview (For Unlinked Pages):
  • While logged in, navigate to the desired page
  • Click the preview arrow in the top left corner
  • Copy the URL from the address bar

Using Custom Domains

If you have a custom domain, replace the integrated domain in URLs:

  • From:
    https://integrated-domain.squarespace.com/blog
  • To:
    https://customdomain.com/blog

Homepage Special Cases

For blogs set as homepage:

  • Full URL:
    https://example.squarespace.com/blog/post-title
  • Can be shortened to:
    https://example.squarespace.com/post-title

For portfolios set as homepage:

  • Full URL:
    https://example.squarespace.com/portfolio/subpage-title
  • Can be shortened to:
    https://example.squarespace.com/subpage-title

Sharing Images and Files

When sharing images or files:

  • Don't use direct CDN URLs (images.squarespace-cdn.com)
  • Instead, share the URL of the page containing the content
  • This maintains your site's branding in shared links

Social Media Integration

You can set up automatic sharing for:

  • New blog posts
  • Portfolio items
  • Product listings
  • Other collection items

This saves time compared to manual sharing and ensures consistent posting across platforms.

For best results:

  • Set up proper URL slugs
  • Configure social sharing images
  • Test links before sharing widely
  • Use preview tools to verify appearance
