Read 2026-11-04. Source: https://agentreadyhtml.com/platforms/squarespace/ Site: Agent Ready HTML Last reviewed: 2026-11-04 # Squarespace: what an agent reads In short Squarespace does not serve markdown on request on squarespace.com. Squarespace totals 6 of 12 on the eight numeric keys, from cited documentation read 4 November 2026. It also does not publish (as far as found) a help article on llms.txt. **rubric.txt** squarespace ```text initial_html_by_default = 2 real_status_codes = 2 llms_txt_generation = 1 llms_txt_linking = 0 markdown_negotiation = 0 jsonld_output = 1 openapi_exposure = n/a fenced_code = n/a total = 6 of 12 ``` Read 2026-11-04. Documentation, not a test build. **Squarespace** Site builder, Squarespace Site builder with an AI crawler toggle; native llms.txt on 7.1 sites is reported by third parties but no Squarespace help page confirming it was found. Work left to the developer: Medium: confirm the llms.txt setting on your plan, link it yourself, add markdown at the edge. ## The nine scores | Key | Score | Evidence | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Content in the initial HTML | 2, on by default | Squarespace pages are server-rendered templates.
