Site Settings

Melody Jaimon • December 12, 2022

The Settings tab on the left panel contains the majority of your site's general settings. You may back up your site, adjust its SEO, and do other things from here.

Site Icons

Home screen icons, share icons, favicons, and startup images allow you to customize, brand, and polish your user's experience while also making it simpler for a user to find your site out of a bunch of tabs or links on their home screen. See Site Icons for further details.

Site Domain

The site URL is how visitors will find your website. You are assigned a default, public URL until you add your own domain.


When the site is not unpublished, the settings are generally greyed out. Publish your site to show more settings, such as the ability to change the URL.


See for additional information about publishing your site and going live.

Preview

This preview displays your site as it appears in the editor, including unpublished modifications. Site preview is an excellent method to share your work with others and test your site on a variety of devices before launching it.


Click Copy next to the preview URL to get the site URL for sharing.

Unpublish Site

Unpublishing a site makes it no longer available online and prevents users from accessing it until it is relaunched. Your site billing subscription is unaffected by unpublishing.


Unpublish your site by clicking the
Unpublish button.

Site SSL

Site SSL is the location where you may configure a secure HTTPS connection for your website. HTTPS is excellent for improving your SEO and providing visitors with trust when they visit your sites.


Let's Encrypt, an open-source Certificate Authority that gives free certificates is used in this approach. This approach does require that
you have a domain pointed at your site successfully.


To turn SSL on:


  • Publish your site.
  • Turn on SSL.


See Add SSL or HTTPS for additional SSL information.

Load Site in an iFrame

Click the Allow site to be loaded in an iframe option to enable your site to be embedded in an iframe on another site. See Load Site in an iframe for further details.

SEO

SEO is what propels your site to the first page of Google. You may alter the settings here to help your search engine optimisation. See Introduction to SEO for more information.


These settings are different from the SEO settings for a single page. Page SEO overrides the global SEO modifications. See
Site SEO Settings for more details.

Google Analytics

By adding Google Analytics to your site, you can gain detailed insights into your customers and users via the Google analytics dashboard.

To install Google Analytics, you must first set it up on Google's platform. After that, obtain your tracking ID and enter it into the Google Analytics page. See Google Analytics Integration for further information.

We provide a native Google Analytics integration, however, your website will not load Google Analytics unless you configure the integration with your own Google Analytics ID.

URL Redirect

Using the URL Redirect feature, you can redirect specific URLs on your site to specified pages. Visit URL Redirects for further details.

Header HTML

The header HTML is where you may add your custom scripts, meta tags, and other code that belongs in your site's <head> section. For more information, visit Header HTML.


In the header HTML, only certain types of code are placed. See
Custom Code Guidelines for further information.

Backup site

Make a backup of your site that you may restore whenever you want. This allows you to undo changes or recover from critical errors on the site.


To create a backup, go to the left panel and select
Settings, then Backup Site. Enter a new backup version name and click Save.


Visit the Backup Sites to learn more.

Site Language

If you're creating a site in a language other than English, you can use the Site Language feature to translate certain parts into your target language. See Set a Default Site Language for further details.

Privacy Settings

You can guarantee that your users are well-informed about the type of data and cookies information gathered when they visit your page by using the Privacy Settings page. The privacy page and cookie notification are the two major tools you can enable in Privacy Settings. See Privacy Settings for additional details.

404 Page

Customise your site's 404 page. The 404 page is used in place of any page that cannot be shown if an incorrect or inaccessible URL is entered as an internal link of the site domain. If a site visitor attempts to view a non-existent page on your site, they will be sent to your personalised 404 page rather than the generic 404 page that we give by default.


You must access developer mode and write custom code to conceal the footer on the 404 page. To access developer mode, click the
Developer Mode button in the navigation bar, then navigate to the 404 page and choose page.css. See Developer Mode for further details.


To customise the 404 page, do the following:


  1. Click Settings on the left side, then the 404 page.
  2. Click the Customize page button. The 404 page will not appear in the Pages menu or the Pages drop-down in the editor's upper left corner.
  3. The 404 page may be edited in the same way that any other page on your site can. You can drag in any widget or section, and edit content and design. To return to the rest of your site, use the pages drop-down at the top of the page to return to the Home page.
  4. Click the Preview page to see a preview of your 404 page. By choosing Revert to the original page, you may always return to the original 404 page.


  • To edit the 404 page, clients must have full editing capabilities.
  • The 404 page for multi-language sites will be the same in all languages and can only be changed in the default site language.
  • Because it is not an individual page, the page background can only be changed using Background for all Global Settings.
