Fix SEOSpace Not Rescanning Updated Content
TL;DR:
- Save your edits in Squarespace and refresh the webpage before rescanning with SEOSpace
- Clear browser cache or reinstall SEOSpace if issues persist after initial steps
- Make sure SEOSpace extension is up-to-date to reflect recent changes
- Contact SEOSpace support if problems continue after trying these fixes
When SEOSpace isn't picking up your latest content changes, it's usually down to one of a few common issues. Here's how to get it working again.
Save and Refresh First
Before you do anything else, make sure all your changes in the Squarespace editor are properly saved. After saving, refresh your webpage completely. This stops SEOSpace from scanning old cached data instead of your fresh updates.
This catches most issues right away. SEOSpace can only scan what's actually live on your page, not what's sitting unsaved in your editor.
Clear Cache or Reinstall
If saving and refreshing doesn't work, try clearing your browser's cache. Cached data often interferes with tools like SEOSpace detecting changes.
Still having problems? Uninstall and reinstall the SEOSpace extension. This gives you a clean slate and often fixes persistent scanning issues.
Update SEOSpace
Check you're running the latest version of SEOSpace. Outdated extensions can struggle with newer Squarespace features, especially around image handling and SEO titles.
Make it a habit to check for updates regularly. The SEOSpace changelog will tell you what bugs have been fixed and what new features are available.
When All Else Fails
If you've tried everything above and SEOSpace still won't rescan your updates, contact SEOSpace support directly. They can check for any known issues with your specific setup.
