Page 5 · Tips & limits

Relative links, one menu, and room for 200 files on Free.

Most broken sites come down to one link. Check yours below, then plan around the size limits.

Will this link work?

Type an href as you'd write it in tips.html. It's judged the hard way: from a reader looking at an older version of the site.

Opens in place

It stays inside the space: the address bar follows to /-/deploy.html, and a pinned version stays pinned.

Pro and Max fit sixty times as many files

Limits are per space and count every file: pages, styles, scripts and pictures.

Eight habits that keep a site working

  1. 1

    Write links relative

    faq.html, never /faq.html: a leading slash drops readers off older versions.

  2. 2

    One menu, pasted in every page

    Move aria-current="page" to the page you're on.

  3. 3

    Share styles in one file

    A site.css every page links. Change it once.

  4. 4

    Use folders for sections

    guide/index.html opens at /-/guide/.

  5. 5

    Check every link

    A page that doesn't exist is "not found", never the home page.

  6. 6

    Deploy the whole folder

    Same link, a new version. The command line uploads only changed files.

  7. 7

    Mark blocks for comments

    Give each heading and paragraph a data-ss-id, so comments pin to it.

  8. 8

    Different audience? New space.

    Who can open it is set per space, so a private page goes in a space of its own.

That's the whole site.

Five pages, one link. Go back to the start, or open the page tree.
