Why Isn’t My Squarespace Site Secure?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 3:05 am

If you’re wondering why your Squarespace site isn’t secure, there are a few possible explanations. First, you may not have SSL enabled for your domain. SSL is a security protocol that encrypts data between your site and visitors’ browsers, ensuring that sensitive information like credit card numbers and passwords can’t be intercepted by third parties. To enable SSL for your domain, log in to your Squarespace account and go to the Domains panel.

Then click on the domain name and select “Enable SSL.” If you don’t see this option, it means that your domain doesn’t support SSL.

Another possibility is that you have some insecure content on your site, such as embedded YouTube videos or widgets from other sites. To fix this, you’ll need to find and replace any insecure content with secure alternatives.

You can usually do this by searching for “https” on the page where the insecure content is located. For more help, check out Squarespace’s support article on securing your site with SSL.

PRO TIP: If you are using Squarespace to build a website, it is important to be aware that Squarespace sites are not automatically secure. You can take steps to secure your site, but it is important to be aware that Squarespace does not offer automatic security measures. If you are concerned about the security of your Squarespace site, we recommend contacting a Squarespace specialist to discuss your options.

If you’re still having trouble, contact Squarespace support for help. They’ll be able to take a closer look at your account and troubleshoot any remaining issues.
