The problem, and the fix

Why Squarespace sites get slow.

Squarespace makes beautiful sites easy, but you get little control over the code, scripts and caching behind them. Mirra captures your live site and serves an optimised, pre-rendered copy on your own domain, so it loads dramatically faster. You keep editing in Squarespace.

01

Template scripts everywhere

Every page loads the platform’s full set of template scripts and styles, whether the page uses those features or not.

How Mirra fixes it: Template scripts wait until the first tap or scroll and unused CSS is stripped, so the page paints before any of it runs.
02

Big images and video

Full-width galleries, banners and background videos look great but are heavy, especially on phones.

How Mirra fixes it: Images are resized and converted to WebP and AVIF, lazy-loaded below the fold, and hero videos load after a poster image.
03

Embeds and blocks

Social feeds, booking widgets, maps and code blocks each pull in their own third-party scripts.

How Mirra fixes it: Third-party embeds, analytics and chat wait for the first interaction, so they keep working without slowing the first view.
04

Hosting you can’t tune

You can’t change how Squarespace caches, serves or bundles your pages, so there is little you can fix yourself.

How Mirra fixes it: Mirra serves a pre-rendered copy from Cloudflare’s edge cache, so you get the speed without touching Squarespace’s hosting.
How it works

How Mirra speeds up Squarespace

Mirra captures each Squarespace page as it renders, optimises its images, CSS and fonts, and serves it as static HTML from Cloudflare’s global edge. Scripts wait for the first interaction, so content paints quickly and your blocks still work.

FAQ

Squarespace questions, answered.

Something else on your mind? Talk to us.

Can I still edit my site in Squarespace?+

Yes. Squarespace stays your editor. After you publish, sync the new and changed pages to Mirra in one click, review, and publish.

Do my forms and blocks keep working?+

Forms are captured with the page and submissions can be sent to your inbox or CRM. Embeds and blocks are captured as they render and their scripts load on the first interaction.

Do I need to change my Squarespace plan?+

No. Mirra runs alongside Squarespace and serves a faster copy on your own domain. Nothing about your Squarespace site changes.
