Squarespace Capabilities FAQ's - high traffic, number of pages / products

Can Squarespace handle high traffic?

There are literally millions of Squarespace sites, and your site is on that same hosting platform. It’s highly unlikely you will have a popular enough website to stretch the Squarespace platform resources. Yes, Squarespace can handle high traffic.

What is the maximum number of pages in Squarespace?

You can have up to 1000 pages on Squarespace. That’s quite a lot and should be enough for the majority of small businesses.

Is Squarespace a good website builder for a small business?

Squarespace is an excellent web builder for small businesses. It has a plethora of features and is easy to customise, and there are a ton of Squarespace templates, both built-in and third-party premium templates, for sale.

How do I make my SS site more dynamic?

By more dynamic, I’m guessing you mean with more interaction, more animation and maybe more video. This can all be done in Squarespace, but it might need to be done by a professional designer. See my other post about getting GSAP into Squarespace. GSAP allows you to produce complex animations in relatively easy-to-use code. You can edit SVG, Dom elements and videos with it.

You can add video natively in Squarespace; it’s as easy as adding an image. If you are looking for transparent video capabilities, then you will likely have to upload it to a different location and use a custom code block to insert it. The code to be used is just a video tag, but a freelancer developer should be able to do this in a few hours if that kind of task daunts you. That said, Squarespace, going forward, should be able to host transparent video as the demand for that kind of media grows.

How many sites can you have within a single Squarespace account?

You can have an unlimited number of sites within your Squarespace account. Each site is paid for individually, so if you have hundreds of sites, then that can be quite a bill each month or year, depending on how you pay. Squarespace is affordable, though; some other platforms have a huge cost per site.

How many Squarespace sites are there?

There are approximately 3 million Squarespace sites in the world as of March 2025. If you include inactive sites, that figure rises to nearly 5 million. A colossal number.

What is the maximum number of products you can have in a Squarespace Commerce site?

You can have up to 10,000 products in a Squarespace Commerce site. A Commerce plan costs between £23 and £35 per month, so if you have anything like that limit, it’s great value.
