Beautiful Templates Don't Fix Slow SEO
Squarespace delivers stunning designs but struggles with blog rankings. JavaScript-heavy templates, limited schemas, and missing IndexNow put you at a disadvantage.

Where Squarespace Blog SEO Falls Short
Squarespace excels at design but takes a design-first, SEO-second approach. Your content marketing needs better performance and modern SEO features.
Heavy templates, slow pages
JavaScript-heavy templates deliver beautiful designs but fail Core Web Vitals. Lighthouse mobile scores of 50-65 hurt rankings regardless of how good your content is.
Limited JSON-LD support
Basic schemas only - no FAQ markup, no Breadcrumb schemas, no advanced structured data. Google can't fully understand your content structure.
Missing modern SEO features
No IndexNow protocol, no LLMs.txt, no multilingual SEO. Squarespace has decent basic SEO but lacks the advanced features content marketers need.
Beautiful Templates, Heavy Code
Squarespace templates look incredible. But they ship heavy JavaScript frameworks to create those beautiful designs.
This causes Core Web Vitals failures:
- Slow Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) - Main content takes 3-4 seconds to render
- High Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) - Page elements jump as JavaScript loads
- Poor First Input Delay (FID) - Buttons and links feel sluggish
- Lighthouse scores of 50-65 on mobile - Google penalizes slow pages
What Squarespace gets right: Clean URLs, automatic SSL, meta tag controls, 301 redirects, and solid basic SEO. But basic SEO isn't enough when your competitors are using JAMStack platforms that deliver 90+ Lighthouse scores automatically.
You're template-locked, so you can't optimize the underlying code. The only solution is a platform built for content performance from the ground up.
