How to find the RSS feeds URL?

The RSS feed URL sometimes is hard to find. Some people use the Page Source, and others simply use some tricks.

Find the RSS Feeds URL by using the Page Source (Google Chrome):

  1. Right-click on the page
  2. Select “View Page Source”
  3. Click Settings on the top right side of the Chrome interface and choose ‘Find.’
  4. Search for ‘RSS’.
  5. Find the right RSS URL and copy it.

The RSS feed is sometimes easy to find. How? Add a ‘/feed’ at the end of the URL. For example, ‘blog.publer.io/feed.’ That’s because WordPress hosts Publer’s Blog.

Multiple websites host blogs, such as:

Medium: You can find your RSS feed by adding /feed/ before the article’s title. Like this: medium.com/feed/some-title

GoDaddy: You can find the RSS feed by writing the whole URL and adding ‘f.rss’ at the end. Like this: website.com/blog/f.rss

These new features are available on both paid plans – Argentum (Silver) and Aurum (Gold).
