Squarespace blog: set one up, then run it at yoursite.com/blog
A Squarespace blog takes a few minutes to add from the Pages panel. Below: the setup steps, where the built-in blog stops for a business, and how to run the blog on Superblog at yoursite.com/blog while Squarespace keeps the site.
Add a Squarespace blog from the Pages panel: click the + icon, click Blog under Showcase, pick a layout and name the page. For one writer and a few dozen posts, the built-in blog is a sound choice. A business blog can run on Superblog at yoursite.com/blog while Squarespace keeps the site.
How to add a blog to Squarespace in five steps
These steps are for version 7.1 sites, checked against Squarespace's help center in November 2026.
- Open the Pages panel, then click the + icon.
- Under Showcase, click Blog.
- Pick a blog layout. This is your Squarespace blog template, and you can change it later.
- Enter a page title and press Enter.
- Open the blog page settings to set posts per page, the SEO title and the social sharing image. Then add a post, and publish it or hover over Publish and click Schedule.

What Squarespace blogging gets right
For one writer and a few dozen posts, the built-in blog is a sound choice.
- You choose a blog layout when you add the page, and posts use the fonts and colors already set for your site.
- The blog lives in the same Squarespace login and on the same bill as the rest of the site.
- Each post has its own SEO title, SEO description and social sharing image.
- Posts can be scheduled from the Publish button.
- Squarespace builds the sitemap for you and updates it as you publish.
Limits a business blog on Squarespace runs into
Each one is documented on Squarespace's own help pages, checked in November 2026.
One author per post. Post settings have a single Author dropdown, and the help center describes no co-author field.
No draft-only role outside Enterprise. The Draft editor role, which saves page drafts without publishing, is listed only under Enterprise site permissions.
Categories and tags stop at one blog page. Categories and tags are managed per blog page. You cannot bulk-edit them across pages, and renaming one does not redirect links to its filtered pages.
No autosave or revision history. Squarespace's help center states that it has no auto-save or revision history when editing.
Sitemap and llms.txt are fixed or manual. The sitemap cannot be edited. llms.txt is off by default, and you type its contents into a text field yourself.
The export takes one blog page. The site export includes one blog page and its posts, as a WordPress-format XML file.
None of this means Squarespace ignores SEO. See what it covers in Squarespace blog SEO, the full verdict in is Squarespace good for blogging, and how its llms.txt field works in Squarespace llms.txt.
Run your blog on Squarespace's domain with Superblog
You do not leave Squarespace. Squarespace keeps serving every page of your site, and Superblog serves yoursite.com/blog. Squarespace has no setting to proxy a path to another host, so a Cloudflare Worker in front of your domain does the routing.
Squarespace keeps handling your home and landing pages, marketing site, commerce store, and its design and templates. Superblog handles the writing and publishing dashboard, the hosted blog pages at yoursite.com/blog, lead capture and analytics.
What Superblog adds to a Squarespace site
- Blog at yoursite.com/blog: A Cloudflare Worker sends /blog to Superblog and every other path to Squarespace. Readers and search engines see one domain.
- Automatic SEO: JSON-LD schema, XML sitemaps, IndexNow, Open Graph tags and llms.txt on every post, updated on every publish.
- 90+ Lighthouse guaranteed: JAMStack architecture with a global CDN. Sub-second load times regardless of content volume.
- Roles and co-authors: Admin, Editor and Writer roles, and more than one author on a post. Pro includes 5 team members.
- Built-in lead generation: Email capture forms below posts, in the sidebar, and as pop-ups. On Super and above, Zapier sends leads to your CRM.
- Multilingual SEO: On Super and above: publish in 41 languages with hreflang tags and per-language sitemaps. No per-language charge.
Connect yoursite.com/blog through Cloudflare
- Create your blog in Superblog and choose a paid plan. Subdirectory hosting is on every paid plan. Trial sites cannot connect /blog.
- Add your domain to Cloudflare’s free plan. Add the Squarespace DNS records with Proxy status set to DNS only, and wait until Squarespace shows the domain as verified. Then switch the A records and the www CNAME to Proxied. Leave the verify.squarespace.com record on DNS only.
- In Cloudflare, open Workers & Pages and create a Worker from the Hello World template. Click Edit Code, paste the code from your Superblog dashboard, and deploy.
- Open your domain in Cloudflare, go to Workers Routes, and add the route yoursite.com/blog* (use www.yoursite.com/blog* if your site serves on www) for the Worker. Then set SSL/TLS to Full.
- Requests to /blog now load from Superblog. Every other page keeps loading from Squarespace.
The dashboard fills in the Worker code for your site, so you paste it rather than write it. The Worker strips /blog from the path and fetches the page from your Superblog origin, which serves the blog at its root. Most of the elapsed time is waiting on DNS: the nameserver change and Squarespace's domain check.
Built for businesses that treat the blog as a search channel
Keep your Squarespace site live. Set up the blog and write your first posts in the 7-day free trial, no credit card required. Connect yoursite.com/blog when you choose a paid plan.

Squarespace blog questions
Does Squarespace have blog templates?
Yes. You pick a blog layout when you add the Blog page, and you can change it later. Posts use your site styles.
Is a Squarespace blog bad for SEO?
No. Each post has an SEO title, description and social image, and the sitemap builds itself. What you lose is control: the sitemap cannot be edited and llms.txt is written by hand.
Can Superblog run the blog while Squarespace keeps the site?
Yes. A Cloudflare Worker sends yoursite.com/blog to Superblog. Every other page still loads from Squarespace.
Is subdirectory hosting included in Superblog?
Yes, on every paid plan. Trial sites cannot connect /blog, so choose a plan before you set up the Worker.
Can I move my existing Squarespace posts?
Yes, with a conversion step. There is no Squarespace importer, and Squarespace exports one blog page as WordPress-format XML. Convert those posts to JSON or Markdown files, import them, and add 301 redirects for any URL that changes.
