Sharing URLs from your website effectively helps promote your content and reach your audience. Here's how to properly share URLs, whether you're logged in or not.

Finding the Correct URL

When logged in, avoid copying URLs directly from your browser as they contain secure edit links that won't work for visitors. Instead, use these methods:

Method 1: Incognito Mode

1. Open a private/incognito window in your browser
2. Navigate to the page without logging in
3. Copy the URL from the address bar
4. Share the link on your desired platform

Method 2: Full Preview Mode

1. Log into your site
2. Navigate to the desired page
3. Click the arrow in the top-left corner for full preview
4. Copy the URL from the address bar

Custom Domain Considerations

If using a custom domain, replace the integrated domain in the URL before sharing:

• From:

  https://integrated-domain.squarespace.com/blog

• To:

  https://customdomain.com/blog

Special URL Cases

Blog Homepage:

• Standard URL:

  https://example.com/blog/post-title

• If blog is homepage:

  https://example.com/post-title

Portfolio Homepage:

• Standard URL:

  https://example.com/portfolio/sub-page-title

• If portfolio is homepage:

  https://example.com/sub-page-title

Sharing Images and Files

When sharing images or files:

• Direct image URLs use domains like

  images.squarespace-cdn.com

• To maintain your branding, share the page URL containing the image instead
• These URLs cannot be edited

Social Media Integration

You can:

• Share URLs manually on any platform
• Set up automatic sharing for new content
• Create a social sharing logo for consistent branding
• Edit URL slugs to customize link appearance

Remember to always verify URLs work correctly before sharing them publicly. For private or unlinked content, use the full preview method to ensure proper access.
