Squarespace

Content renders server-side, which is the important part, but head-level control is limited to what the injection panel allows.

What tends to go wrong here

Squarespace handles the basics ... titles, descriptions, canonical, sitemap, Open Graph ... without configuration. Where it gets awkward is anything requiring precise control over the document head or the heading levels a section component produces.

Where the findings land

Easy To Fix
Titles, descriptions, images and alt text, page-level Open Graph. All in the editor.
Harder To Fix
Custom structured data, which goes through code injection and applies broadly rather than per page. Heading levels, which section components choose for you.
Usually Structural
Nothing about rendering. The constraint is the ceiling on markup control, not the delivery model.

Worth knowing

The recurring Squarespace finding is multiple H1s, because several section types render their title as an H1 by default. It is fixable with a small amount of CSS-aware restructuring, and not always fixable per page.

Others in Site Builders

  • Wix Modern Wix sites render server-side, but older ones and heavily app-driven pages can still return very little in the raw HTML.
  • Webflow Webflow exports clean, server-rendered HTML and gives you real control over heading levels and custom code, so most findings here are genuinely quick.
