How to Export a Squarespace Site (Including CMS Pages, CSS, JS, and Images)

If you’ve ever wished you could export your entire Squarespace website — including CMS pages, CSS, JavaScript, and images — you’re not alone. Designers and developers often want the freedom to host their sites anywhere, improve speed with static hosting, or simply keep a portable backup of their content.

Here’s the good news: with ExFlow, you can export your Squarespace site into clean, static HTML, complete with assets and CMS-driven pages — then host it anywhere you like.

Why export a Squarespace site to static HTML?

Cost control: Choose affordable or existing hosting without being tied to a single provider.
Performance: Static sites load faster, are cache-friendly, and reduce server overhead.
Security: No server-side processing means fewer attack vectors.
Portability: Keep a snapshot of your site and move or redeploy with confidence.

Meet ExFlow — a Squarespace exporter built for real-world use

ExFlow.site lets you export Webflow and Squarespace sites as downloadable static packages. Crucially, it can capture CMS pages, CSS, JS, images, and media files. You can also automate delivery to your preferred host.

Key capabilities you can toggle per export:

Export all pages (including CMS-driven pages)
Export CSS files and JS files
Export images and media assets
Pages exported with .html extension
Add custom script.js and style.css files
Remove Webflow badge (for Webflow exports)
Sync to Git, S3, or FTP
Built-in hosting with optional custom domain setup and unlimited bandwidth

Plans provide different limits for number of sites, exports per month, max pages per export, export size, and sync/hosting options.

Step-by-step: Export a Squarespace site with CMS pages, CSS, JS, and images

1) Prepare your site and access

Ensure you own the site and content and that you have the right to export assets (fonts, stock images, etc.).
If your site is password-protected, keep the password handy — ExFlow can access it when you provide the password as the site owner.
Make a quick list of pages and any dynamic features (forms, search, member areas) you’ll need to re-implement as static-friendly alternatives.

2) Visit ExFlow and enter your URL

Go to ExFlow.site.
Paste your Squarespace site URL. You can use a custom domain or your Squarespace-provided domain.

3) Configure export settings

Export All Pages: Enable this to capture every page, including CMS collections.
Export CSS and JS: Preserve your site’s design and interactions.
Export Images/Media: Pull down all referenced assets.
Pages with .html: Ensures portable, static pages.
Add custom script.js and style.css: Great for global tweaks after export.
Optional syncing: Configure Git, S3, or FTP to automate delivery.
Hosting: Prefer a one-click solution? Choose ExFlow Hosting to deploy on their infrastructure with unlimited bandwidth and the option to link your custom domain.

4) Start the export

ExFlow will crawl your site, assemble pages (including CMS items), and package CSS, JS, and images.
When done, download the ZIP or let ExFlow push the files to your selected destination.

5) Validate your static build

Open index.html locally to confirm layout, links, and images.
Check forms and any dynamic features; replace with static-friendly tools (e.g., form endpoints like serverless functions or third-party form services).

Hosting options after export

ExFlow gives you multiple ways to deploy your static Squarespace export:

Host on ExFlow servers
- The quickest path: choose Hosting during export. ExFlow deploys your static site, and you can attach a custom domain for a professional setup.
Amazon S3 (Static Website Hosting)
- Sync via ExFlow’s S3 integration.
- Enable Static Website Hosting in your bucket; set index.html as default.
Git workflow (GitHub Pages, Netlify, or similar)
- Use ExFlow Git Sync to push your export directly to a repo.
- Deploy with GitHub Pages or connect to Netlify for global CDN and previews.
Traditional server via FTP
- Provide FTP credentials; ExFlow uploads files to your server.
- Verify your web root and index file configuration.

What changes when you go static?

Forms and search: Replace with a headless form endpoint or third-party form tool; add client-side search (e.g., a small JS-based index) if needed.
E-commerce and member areas: Dynamic features won’t run server-side in a static export. Consider linking out to hosted checkout or integrating headless services.
CMS updates: After export, your site becomes a snapshot. Re-export when content changes, or automate with scheduled exports.

SEO checklist for Squarespace static exports

Preserve metadata: Titles, meta descriptions, and canonical tags should export into the HTML.
Clean URLs and internal links: Ensure relative links resolve correctly. Adjust any platform-specific URLs.
XML sitemap and robots.txt: Include or generate a sitemap for your new host and verify robots.txt behavior.
Redirects: If URLs change, set up 301 redirects on your new host to protect rankings.
Speed: Serve via CDN for best Core Web Vitals; static sites usually gain a performance edge.
