Here's your concise guide to sharing URLs from your website effectively:

Basic URL Sharing

To share any page from your website, ensure you're using the correct public URL, not the editing URL. Never share URLs that contain "squarespace.com/config/" as these require login credentials.

Two Methods to Get Shareable URLs:

1. Using Incognito Mode:

• Open a private/incognito window in your browser
• Visit the page you want to share
• Copy the URL from the address bar
• Share the copied URL

2. Using Full Preview:

• Log into your website
• Navigate to desired page
• Click the arrow in upper left for full preview
• Copy the URL from address bar
• Replace integrated domain with custom domain if applicable

Example Domain Replacement: From: https://integrated-domain.squarespace.com/blog To: https://custom-domain.com/blog

Special URL Cases:

Homepage Blog Posts:

• Standard URL: https://example.com/blog/post-title
• If blog is homepage: https://example.com/post-title

Homepage Portfolio Items:

• Standard URL: https://example.com/portfolio/subpage-title
• If portfolio is homepage: https://example.com/subpage-title

Index Pages: You can share either:

• The main index page URL
• Direct URLs to individual pages within the index

Image and File Sharing:

• Share the page URL containing the image/file
• Avoid sharing direct CDN links (images.squarespace-cdn.com)
• Direct file URLs cannot be edited

Social Media Integration:

• Use automatic sharing features for collection content
• Ensure proper social sharing images are set
• Configure URL slugs for optimal sharing

Best Practices:

• Always test shared links in incognito mode
• Use custom domains for professional appearance
• Set appropriate social sharing images
• Keep URLs clean and readable
• Regularly check for broken links
