Verdicts by reader
- Technical SEO
- Framer passes a markdown negotiation check; Squarespace does not on the evidence read.
- Docs owner
- Both are hosted builders with prerendered HTML.
- Front-end developer
- Squarespace needs an edge product for markdown.
What each leaves undone
Framer
- Does not write the llms.txt content for the owner.
- Does not document a switch to turn markdown output off.
Squarespace
- Does not serve markdown on request on squarespace.com.
- Does not publish (as far as found) a help article on llms.txt.
Work left to the developer: Framer, Low: write llms.txt and link it; add JSON-LD in page settings. Squarespace, Medium: confirm the llms.txt setting on your plan, link it yourself, add markdown at the edge.
