Crawld and Squarespace
Advisory only: a checklist you apply by hand.
Status: Not built yet . this connector is not built. The page describes how delivery works on Squarespace given the constraints of the platform, and what verification would honestly be available. Today you can run the free scorecard against a Squarespace site without granting any access at all.
How fixes would arrive
A findings list with the exact change for each page, applied by you in the editor.
Squarespace’s public API covers commerce, not page content. There is no supported way to write a page’s metadata programmatically, so this platform sits on the bottom rung and the site says so.
What the free scorecard runs on today. It reads public HTML, scores it, and hands back findings. It changes nothing and claims nothing about a build, because it has never seen one.
What the rubric can see here
- Everything the crawler can see from the public HTML
- Per-page instructions naming the field to change in the editor
Limits worth knowing before you plan around this
- Advisory only. Nothing is written, and nothing is verified
- If Squarespace opens a content-write API this moves up a rung; until then it does not
Not build-verified. Squarespace sits on Mode E, so a change delivered here is advisory only: never build-verified. That badge means a build actually ran, and on this platform there is no build to run.
Where this sits on the ladder
| Mode | What we get | How changes arrive | Verification | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A · Repo write | A connected repository we can push a branch to | Opens a pull request. You review the diff and merge it. | Build-verified | Not built yet |
| B · Read-only repo | Read access, plus somewhere to push | Pushes to a fork or a branch you own. | Build-verified | Not built yet |
| C · Cloud mirror | A one-time snapshot or export | Works on a clone in our cloud, returns a patch or a PR. | Build-verified (mirror) | Not built yet |
| D · CMS drafts | OAuth into a hosted CMS | Writes unpublished drafts. You publish them. | Preview-verified | Not built yet |
| E · URL only | Nothing: a public URL | A scorecard and a patch you apply yourself. | Advisory only | Available now |
Build-verified means a build actually ran. It applies to modes A, B and C and to nothing else. A hosted CMS has no build to run, so mode D is preview-verified and mode E is advisory. Those labels are never blurred, because the honesty of the verification is the product.
What you can do today
Scan the site. The free scorecard needs no access to Squarespace at all. It reads the published HTML the way a search or answer engine does, runs the full 129-check rubric against it, and reports what it could not measure rather than counting it as a pass.
Everything it finds is actionable by hand regardless of whether a connector ever exists, because the finding names the page and the change rather than a button to press.
