To share a URL from your site effectively, follow these key methods:

For Publicly Visible Pages:

1. Use Incognito Mode:

• Open a private/incognito window in your browser
• Navigate to the desired page without logging in
• Copy the URL from the address bar
• Share the URL via social media or email

2. Use Full Preview (for hidden pages):

• Log into your site
• Navigate to the desired page
• Click the arrow at top left for full preview
• Copy the URL from address bar
• Replace built-in domain with custom domain if needed

Important URL Considerations:

• Homepage Blog Posts: Remove "/blog" from URLs when blog is set as homepage Example: use "domain.com/post-title" instead of "domain.com/blog/post-title"

• Homepage Portfolio: Remove "/portfolio" from URLs when portfolio is homepage Example: use "domain.com/sub-page-title" instead of "domain.com/portfolio/sub-page-title"

Common Mistakes to Avoid:

• Never share URLs containing "/config/" or requiring login
• Don't use admin panel URLs (they'll redirect to login page)
• Avoid sharing direct image/file URLs from CDN domains

For Social Media Sharing:

• Use automatic social sharing features when available
• Ensure proper preview images by setting up social sharing logos
• Verify URLs work before sharing by testing in incognito mode

Note: For index pages, you can share either the main index URL or individual page URLs depending on your needs.

If using a custom domain, always replace the built-in domain format (example.squarespace.com) with your custom domain before sharing.
