Optimizing Your Squarespace Website for Mobile
Today, mobile devices are most peoples’ go-to choice for browsing the internet. We check our email on our phones, visit websites through social media links on out phones… In fact, according to recent studies, more than 55% of all web traffic comes from mobile devices. This stat alone shows just how important it is to make sure your website is not only visually appealing, but also optimized for a seamless mobile experience.

You can view these stats on your own website in Squarespace by going to Analytics > Traffic > Sources.
So, with more and more people accessing websites through their phones (and even tablets!), it's important for us as entrepreneurs to optimize our websites for mobile engagement. Let’s explore the significance of mobile optimization for your Squarespace website and talk about a few new features of Squarespace's Fluid Engine mobile editor.
User Experience & Engagement
Mobile optimization directly impacts user experience and engagement on your website. Disadvantages to having a poorly mobile-optimized site include slow loading times, funky page layouts, and difficult or confusing navigation. These issues can lead to high bounce rates (aka - users giving up and leaving your site immediately), decreased user engagement, and an overall negative impression of your brand.
The benefits of optimizing your site for mobile? You’re able to provide your visitors with a smooth, intuitive browsing experience, keep them engaged, and encourage them to stay and click awhile. (Which can translate to more sales or bookings!)
