The Problem with Squarespace
Squarespace designs websites. It doesn't rank blogs.
Squarespace prioritizes design. Business blogs need speed, SEO, and subdirectory hosting. Beautiful pages that load slowly don't rank well.
Stunning templates that load slow
Squarespace templates look stunning but load slow. Most Squarespace blogs score 40-60 on Lighthouse. Quilzy delivers 90+ Lighthouse scores automatically.
Limited SEO automation
Squarespace offers basic SEO settings but nothing is automatic. No JSON-LD schemas, no IndexNow, no LLMs.txt. Every optimization requires manual configuration.
Subdomain blogs only
Squarespace only supports subdomain blogs (blog.yoursite.com). You can't run your blog at yoursite.com/blog, which splits domain authority and SEO equity.
