How to Find an RSS Feed’s URL
Following a website’s RSS feed gives you the
opportunity to stay up-to-date on everything that website publishes. If you’re
like most people and are overwhelmed and busy, this is a great way to make sure
you don’t miss out on your favorite website’s content.
Whether that’s a section of a news website, a
favorite blog, or something else, you can make sure you don’t miss out on fresh
and new content that will interest you.
There are a variety of ways to search for and
find an RSS Feed URL. And, once you have found the RSS feed, you can add one or
several to an RSS feed reader to see the latest updates of your favorite
website(s) in an easy to read application. We recommend this post by Zapier if you’re looking for

feed, then read on!
1. WordPress RSS Feeds
WordPress powers many websites, in fact, it powers about 30% of the entire internet, so
if you’re trying to find the RSS feed of a WordPress website, all you need to
do is add /feed/ to the end of the website’s URL.
Example:
https://ExampleWordPressWebsite.com/feed/
It will take you to the RSS feed, as long as
the website is powered by WordPress.
What if the website it isn’t powered by
WordPress? You only wasted about 2 seconds, and can try another way.
2. The RSS Logo
The standard orange RSS logo pictured below is
a dead giveaway. If you see this on a website, simply click on it, and it will
take you to the website’s RSS feed. From there, you can get the RSS feed URL.

3. Find the RSS Feed
URL Through the Page Source
Looking at the HTML source of the website’s
page will also give you the RSS feed’s URL.
Right click on the website’s page, and choose
Page Source. In the new window that appears, use the “find” feature (Ctrl + F
on a PC or Command + F on a Mac), and type in RSS. You’ll find the feed’s URL
between the quotes after href=.
Being able to follow your favorite
websites through an RSS feed reader will free up so much time. You’ll
stop bouncing around from web page to web page, looking for all the pieces of
the information you love, and instead have everything you want organized in one
easy place.
