If you’re having trouble with your Squarespace website, there are a few things you can check to see what might be going on. First, make sure you have a strong and stable internet connection.
If you’re on a mobile device, try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network or using your data plan. Once you’ve confirmed that your internet connection is good, try these troubleshooting steps:
1. Clear your browser’s cache and cookies
One of the most common reasons why a website might not be working properly is because your browser’s cache and cookies are outdated. To clear your cache and cookies, follow the instructions for your browser below:
For Chrome:
1. Go to Chrome’s menu button (three vertical dots in the upper right-hand corner of the browser) and select “More tools.” 2. From the drop-down menu that appears, select “Clear browsing data.”
3. A new window will pop up. Make sure that the “Cookies and other site data” and “Cached images and files” boxes are checked, then click “Clear data.” 4. Close the window and try loading the website again.
For Safari:
1. Go to Safari’s menu button (the gear icon in the upper right-hand corner of the browser) and select “Preferences. In the new window that appears, select the “Privacy” tab at the top. 3. Under “Remove all Website Data,” click “Remove Now.”
4. Confirm by clicking “Remove Now” again in the pop-up window that appears. 5. Close the Preferences window and try loading the website again.
2. Check if Squarespace is down for everyone or just you
If you suspect that Squarespace might be experiencing technical difficulties, one of the first things you can do is check its System Status page to see if there are any current or past incidents that might explain why your website isn’t working properly.
3. Try reloading the page
If none of the above steps have worked, try reloading the page by pressing Command + R (Mac) or Control + R (Windows). If that doesn’t work, try emptying your browser’s cache (see step 1) and reloading the page again.
4 . Check your domain name’s DNS settings
Another possible reason why your Squarespace website might not be accessible is because of an issue with your domain name’s DNS settings.
