Why photographers use Squarespace, and why it stops working
Squarespace has beautiful templates that look great in a demo. The problem: photo-heavy Squarespace sites load slowly and score 40–65 on Google's speed test. Google penalizes slow sites. Every photographer on Squarespace has the same template. You look like everyone else and rank below everyone else.
Your Squarespace site shares authority with thousands of other photographers. You're building domain authority for Squarespace, not for yourself. Meanwhile, your pages are loading slowly and costing you Google rankings.
