Squarespace publishes pricing only through JavaScript, blocking agents from computing total cost before signup.
Older scan
This report was produced by an earlier version of the scanner. Some findings may not match how the site is measured now.
Present. Agents lose ground at specific gates, not everywhere.
Ordered by what the evidence says is costing most. Written for whoever owns the site, not whoever builds it.
3 pieces of evidence and the recommended fix are recorded for this issue, with /compare/squarespace-vs-competitor written from your own pages.
This is a basic scan, so it raises the three issues the deterministic evidence supports. A deep scan sends two agents over the site and raises up to ten, each with cited evidence and the screens to prove it.
A deep scan walks the site with two agents, records cited evidence and screenshots, and keeps a mission timeline. It comes with the paid plans. Making an account costs nothing and gives you one basic scan a month.
The score and the audit trail stay public. The evidence and the files open with an account.
The audit trail behind every number above. Not measured is not zero.
