Squarespace's templates ship clean, then your customisations add weight. Heavy themes, slow LCP, missing meta tags on collection pages — we find them.
Squarespace gets accused of being SEO-unfriendly; mostly that's overblown. The real issues are slow LCP (theme overhead + un-optimised images), inconsistent meta on blog/portfolio pages, and limited header control. We grade what you can fix and what's a Squarespace limitation.
Each pattern is written from public-page audit evidence and ships with a one-line fix suggestion in the report.
Squarespace ships full theme runtime on every page even when the page only uses a fraction. Adds 200–400 KB of unused JS.
Squarespace falls back to truncated body copy when a description isn't set. Auto-truncation often cuts mid-sentence.
Squarespace galleries don't enforce alt text. We surface every image without one, with a thumbnail so you know which.
If you haven't set a default social-share image, every share renders the SS logo. Easy fix in Settings → Marketing.
Squarespace doesn't let you set a CSP. We'll grade the headers Squarespace does ship and flag what's missing.
Squarespace doesn't always serve appropriately-sized images. We measure actual served vs. displayed dimensions.
Common Squarespace issue: spacing values look fine on desktop, become awkward at 375px. We screenshot at mobile widths and flag it.

Yes. Most issues we find (alt text, descriptions, OG images, image sizing) are fixable on any plan. We'll be explicit when something requires the Business or Commerce plan to fix.
No — we crawl publicly accessible URLs only. Remove the password protection (or use a preview URL with the password stripped) before scanning.
