# Framer against Squarespace on what an agent reads

In short

Framer generates robots.txt and sitemap.xml for every published site automatically. Squarespace: www.squarespace.com/llms.txt answered on 2026-11-04 with a 301 to /assets/llms.txt, a 2,409-byte file with an H1 and 7 links. Framer leads on markdown on request, 2 to 0; Squarespace: Not observed.

## The sourced difference

Framer serves markdown on request by default and squarespace.com answered the same request with HTML on 2026-11-04. [Source](https://www.framer.com/help/articles/make-site-readable-by-ai-agents/), read 4 November 2026.

## The rubric side by side

| Key | Framer | Squarespace |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Content in the initial HTML | 2, on by default | 2, on by default |
| Real status codes | 2, on by default | 2, on by default |
| llms.txt generation | 1, with setup | 1, with setup |
| llms.txt linking | 1, with setup | 0, not offered |
| Markdown on request | 2, on by default | 0, not offered |
| JSON-LD output | 1, with setup | 1, with setup |
| OpenAPI exposure | n/a | n/a |
| Fenced, tagged code | 1, with setup | n/a |
| Total | 10 of 14 | 6 of 12 |

The two differ on 2 of the numeric keys: llms.txt linking, markdown on request. Evidence for each score is on the profiles of [Framer](https://agentreadyhtml.com/platforms/framer/) and [Squarespace](https://agentreadyhtml.com/platforms/squarespace/).

## 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.
