Squarespace Website Audit
Squarespace audit: templates, thin HTML, and a proxy for headers
· Configuration notes, not a newsroom.
Squarespace fingerprints from sqs-block and their CDN. SiteRune will not invent a header UI Squarespace does not have. Cloudflare in front is the usual path.
SQWhat SiteRune checks on this stack
- CMS / framework fingerprint from HTML, headers, cookies, and generator tags — fingerprint-based, not a plugin inventory
- Titles, meta descriptions, canonicals, H1, and robots on the homepage and walked interiors
- Security headers a crawler can see: HTTPS, HSTS, CSP, framing, nosniff, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy
- HTML TTFB, compression, and Cache-Control on the document — not a Lighthouse filmstrip
- AI-bot robots policy, llms.txt, and Organization / FAQ / Article JSON-LD
Common problems
- Marketing homepage looks finished; interior templates ship empty titles or leftover noindex
- Hosted CMS cannot set HSTS/CSP, so the brief tells you to put a proxy in front instead of inventing an admin UI
- A security plugin's 'block AI' preset Disallows GPTBot on a site that wanted citations
- Session cookies or no-store on every anonymous GET, so the CDN never caches HTML
The admin is not nginx
Missing HSTS and CSP on Squarespace are not a plugin miss. They are a platform limit. The headerFix in SiteRune says: put a CDN in front and set the headers there. We will not tell you to paste an .htaccess file into Squarespace.
Template SEO is still SEO
Collection pages with empty titles, noindex leftovers on blog pagination, and a homepage that is only a video poster will fail the same findings as WordPress. llms.txt and Organization schema are files and JSON-LD you can still add. Robots that ban GPTBot are a setting, not destiny.
FAQ
How do you know this is my stack?
Fingerprints in HTML, headers, cookies, and generator tags. Confidence is a score, not a certificate. Unknown stacks stay generic — we will not invent a CMS.
