RSS feeds on Squarespace contain your latest content in XML format, powering news aggregators, feed readers, email subscriptions, and podcast directories. They're automatically available for Blog, Products, Events, Gallery, and Album pages.

Basic RSS Feed Structure

The RSS feed URL follows this pattern:

  • For predefined domains:
    nameofthewebsite.squarespace.com/slugpage?format=rss
  • For custom domains:
    www.yourdomain.com/slugpage?format=rss

Finding Your RSS Feed URL

  1. Domain Component:
  • Use your predefined Squarespace URL (recommended for reliability)
  • Or use your custom domain
  • Find these in the Domains panel (press ? key and search "domains")
  1. Page Slug Component:
  • Open Pages panel
  • Hover over the page and click the settings icon
  • Find the URL Slug in the settings

Filtering RSS Content

Add categories or tags to filter content:

For categories:

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

For tags:

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

For multi-word categories/tags, use %20 for spaces:

domain.com/page?category=Art%20News&format=rss
domain.com/page?tag=Happy%20Cats&format=rss

Quick Tip: To find any page's RSS feed, simply add

?format=rss
to the end of its URL. Note that this might not work for Index pages due to additional URL parameters.

To implement your RSS feed for email subscriptions, podcast directories, or feed readers, ensure your content is published and publicly accessible.
