Another couple of reasons to hate Squarespace! It's a daily thing now 🙄 1. So Member Areas does not report transactions in Google analytics - this is a bug "that a couple of people have reported". Just a couple?! Doesn't anyone run a business that uses Squarespace member areas?! 2. SS lock Mailchimp out of a detailed integration with the ecommerce side. So I can't view which of my squarespace email campaigns brought me business. This means that now I am basically completely blind to what is bringing website business. I've got some s*** manual workarounds that only half work. Does anyone have any suggestions for how I can push squarespace ecommerce data over to Mailchimp? I am looking at the automate.io bots but I think I am pushing my luck with this use case. Yours despairingly Neil

After sending a panicky message to SS support I received the below message. Finally they have recognised that this is an issue and it is being treated as a priority. I'm still extremely nervous that CWV is going to tank my business from May onwards. My competitors websites are all performing better than mine so SS need to pull something pretty special out of the bag.

Hi guys I'm panicking because I'm seeing search traffic and impressions drop on my Squarespace site. I've had healthy growth for literally years with no trouble. Core Web Vitals starts flagging RED for CLS and LCP issues recently and I'm seeing a decline in google search traffic since. This has literally translated to a loss of a top spot for a key affiliates post and a loss of income of at least £1000 ($1400) per month (plus whatever leads/conversion I might lose from now onwards). As a small business Organic traffic is my key revenue driver. There are two main issues being flagged: Desktop "CLS issue: more than 0.25 (desktop)" i.e. content moving around after page load this appears to match up with the timeline of the decline in search traffic Mobile "CLS issue: more than 0.25 (desktop)": this was flagging until I turned off the announcement bar and now it has been resolved "LCP issue: longer than 4s (mobile)" Basically a page speed issue The deafening silence on this issue from Squarespace rings alarms bells. I've seen others comment that they receive 'vague comments' from the support team. I'm now seriously considering moving my website to another platform unless I get some reassurance that this is an issue they can resolve. Anyone else seeing anything similar or any thoughts on causes/solutions?
