What Are Index Pages in Squarespace?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 5:16 am

An index page is the front page of a website. It is the first page that visitors see when they come to your site. The index page is also the page that search engines crawl when they index your website.

There are two types of index pages: static and dynamic. A static index page is a page that is coded in HTML and saved as a .html file. A dynamic index page is a page that is generated by a server-side script, such as PHP or ASP.

PRO TIP: Index pages in Squarespace can be confusing and overwhelming if you’re not familiar with them. Be sure to read the documentation on index pages before creating one, or you may end up with an unusable page.

A good index page should be well designed and easy to navigate. It should also be keyword rich so that it ranks well in search engines.

If you are using Squarespace, yourindex page is generated automatically. You can choose which pages you want to display on yourindex page, and you can also change the order in which they appear.

To change the order of the pages on your Squarespace index page:

  1. Log in to your Squarespace account.
  2. Click Pages in the left sidebar.
  3. Hover over the page you want to move and click the .. icon that appears.
  4. Click Move Up or Move Down.

To add a new page to your Squarespace index:

  1. Log in to your Squarespace account.
  2. Click the + icon next to Add Page.
  3. Enter a name for your new page and click Add Page.
    • Your new page will now appear on your Squarespace index.

Index pages are important because they are the first thing visitors see when they come to your website. They are also important for search engine optimization because they are keyword rich and help your website rank well in search engines. If you are using Squarespace, yourindex pages are generated automatically, but you can still customize them to fit your needs.
