How Do I Temporarily Disable My Squarespace Website?

Last updated on December 25, 2022 @ 2:26 pm

Assuming you would like to take your Squarespace website down for a temporary amount of time, there are a few options available to you. You can unpublish your site, which will remove it from the web without affecting your content or settings. Once you’re ready to make your site public again, you can republish it.

If you need to take your site down for an extended period of time, you can also suspend your account. This will keep your content and settings intact, but will prevent you from being able to access your account or make any changes during the suspension period.

To unpublish your Squarespace site:

  • In the Home Menu, click Settings
  • Click Advanced
  • Click Unpublish
  • Click Unpublish Site

To republish your Squarespace site:

  • In the Home Menu, click Settings.
  • Click Advanced.
  • Click Unpublish.
  • Click Republish.

PRO TIP: If you are considering disabling your Squarespace website, there are a few things you should be aware of. First, your website will not be accessible to anyone while it is disabled. This means that any visitors who try to access your site will see an error message. Additionally, your website’s search engine ranking will be adversely affected by disabling your site. Finally, if you have any active subscription plans with Squarespace, you will still be charged for those services even though your site is unavailable.
