RSS feeds are XML files containing your latest website content, used by news aggregators, feed readers, email subscriptions, and podcast listings. Here's how to find and customize your RSS feed URL.

Basic RSS Feed URL Structure

For built-in domains:

sitename.squarespace.com/page-slug?format=rss

For custom domains:

www.yourdomain.com/page-slug?format=rss

Finding Your Domain Name

  1. Access the Domains menu in your Squarespace dashboard
  2. For built-in domains: Use the URL shown under "Built-in Domain"

Customizing RSS Feeds with Categories and Tags

For category-specific feeds:

domain.com/page-slug?category=CategoryName&format=rss

For tag-specific feeds:

domain.com/page-slug?tag=TagName&format=rss

Tips for Multi-Word Categories/Tags:

  • Replace spaces with %20
  • Example: "Happy Cats" becomes "Happy%20Cats"

Pro Tips:

  • Use built-in domains for better reliability
  • RSS feed URLs are typically not visible to visitors
  • All blog, product, event, gallery, and album pages automatically generate RSS feeds
  • You can verify your RSS feed by adding ?format=rss to your page URL

This URL structure works for all Squarespace websites and can be used for email subscriptions, podcast listings, and integration with various feed readers and news aggregators.
