llms.txt is a markdown file at your site root that gives AI agents a structured, human-readable description of your site. The format is informal but converging on a convention: H1 name, blockquote tagline, sections for products, trust signals, contact, and AI policy.

Does Squarespace support llms.txt natively?

No. As of June 2026, Squarespace has no built-in support for serving files at custom paths with custom content types. You can either work around it with a URL slug page (which serves HTML, not markdown) or proxy through Cloudflare with a Worker for proper markdown content type.

Should I let AI train on my Squarespace content?

It depends on your business model. If your revenue depends on the content itself (publishing, paywalled research, educational courses), say no. If your content exists to market a product or service, say yes — being baked into LLM training data turns every future conversation about your space into a potential sales channel.

Do I need Cloudflare to add llms.txt to Squarespace?

For a clean implementation, yes. There are workarounds inside Squarespace such as URL slug pages serving HTML-wrapped content, but they compromise the content type which matters to picky AI clients. Cloudflare's free tier fully covers this use case.

Will adding llms.txt hurt my regular SEO?

No. Nothing in this setup affects HTML rendering, sitemaps, schema markup, or anything Googlebot relies on. The Cloudflare Worker only fires on /llms.txt and /robots.txt — both routes Googlebot uses normally, and the augmented robots.txt remains valid and is obeyed by Googlebot.

What goes inside llms.txt?

Heading with brand name, blockquote tagline, context paragraph, hero product with link and price, full catalog as bullet list, trust signals (reviews, ratings, user counts), adjacent content (blog, directory), contact info, and an explicit AI usage policy. About 5,000 to 8,000 characters is the sweet spot.

What are Content Signals in robots.txt?

Content Signals are machine-readable directives in robots.txt that declare AI usage preferences across three dimensions: search (citation in AI answers), ai-input (real-time agent responses), and ai-train (use in model training). Spec is at contentsignals.org.

How is Universal Filter different from Squarespace's built-in category filter?

Squarespace's built-in category filter usually sends visitors to archive pages and reloads the page. Universal Filter adds live on-page filtering, a search field, multiple filters working together, and sorting controls. It is meant for browsing on the page itself, not just jumping between archive views. Full answer →

Can I filter Squarespace blog posts by category or tag?

Yes. Native Squarespace blogs let you assign categories and tags, then visitors can click those labels to open filtered archive URLs. That works well for simple topic grouping, but it is reload-based and not a live filter bar above the posts. Full answer →

How do I add filtering to my Squarespace store?

Squarespace Commerce offers some native filtering on supported shop pages, usually around categories and certain built-in options. If you need live filtering, in-collection search, or more control over the browsing experience, a plugin can extend supported store pages without changing how products are managed. Full answer →

How do I filter a Squarespace gallery or portfolio?

Galleries and portfolios are two places where native visitor-facing filtering is limited or absent, especially on newer portfolio layouts. A plugin approach works better when you want visitors to switch between categories, tags, or other groupings without leaving the page each time. Full answer →

Does Universal Filter work with Squarespace 7.1?

Yes. Universal Filter works with Squarespace 7.1, including Gallery Sections, User Item Lists, and Portfolio Pages except Hover layouts. It also works on Squarespace 7.0, so the same license covers both major version families when you are building across client sites. Full answer →

Can I add multiple filters to one Squarespace page?

Yes, if you use a supported filtering setup. Universal Filter can combine category, tag, and dropdown filters on the same page, and visitors can use those together with the live Search field. That is the main difference from the usual one-dimension-at-a-time native archive pattern. Full answer →

Does Universal Filter update results without reloading the page?

Yes. Universal Filter runs client-side and updates supported lists in place, so visitors can refine results without triggering a full page reload each time. That creates a more direct browsing flow, especially when search, sorting, and multiple filters are being used together. Full answer →

Why isn't my Squarespace filter working?

Two common causes are using the wrong source or collection type, and expecting categories attached only to unpublished items to appear as filter options. It is also worth checking that the page or block you are targeting is one of the supported sources for the filtering method you chose. Full answer →
