RSS feed URLs on Squarespace are XML files that contain your newest content, used by news aggregators, feed readers, email subscriptions, and podcast lists. These feeds are automatically generated for all blog, products, events, gallery, and album pages.

RSS Feed URL Structure

Your RSS feed URL consists of three parts:

1. Your domain (built-in or custom)
2. Page slug
3. The format parameter (?format=rss)

Standard format:

• Built-in domain: sitename.squarespace.com/pageslug?format=rss
• Custom domain: www.yourdomain.com/pageslug?format=rss

Finding Your Domain

Access your domain in the Domains panel:

• Built-in domain: Use the URL under "Built-in Domain"
• Custom domain: Add "www." before your domain name

Locating Your Page Slug

Find your page slug in the Pages panel:

1. Hover over the page
2. Click the gear icon
3. Look for the URL Slug field

Filtering Content with Categories and Tags

To create filtered RSS feeds:

For Categories:

• Format: domain/pageslug?category=Categoryname&format=rss
• Multi-word categories: Replace spaces with %20

For Tags:

• Format: domain/pageslug?tag=Tagname&format=rss
• Multi-word tags: Replace spaces with %20

Example:

• Category "New Art": domain/pageslug?category=New%20Art&format=rss
• Tag "Happy cats": domain/pageslug?tag=Happy%20cats&format=rss

Pro tip: Use your built-in domain for RSS feeds as it's more reliable and less affected by domain changes or errors. Your visitors typically won't see the actual URL.
