    What is the easiest way to find if a website, blog or video has an RSS feed? For example, are there any free tools which you use? It would be nice to go to a site, type in the URL of the website and have it tell me if there is an RSS feed and what the RSS feed URL is.

  • Wordpress is easy enough, add /feed/ at the end of the root URL or click a category or tag and add /feed/ to the end of the URL

    MOST websites will have an RSS option, sometimes it is only listed in the site map – other times, you have to scrounge around for it.

    Anything that is a bit of a chore to find, you have two options –

    URL is self-explanatory…

    If the RSS is not to be found, there is this RSS generator
    https://fetchrss.com/

    Do know that FetchRSS does have a learning curve but NOT steep – and trial and error may be needed for every site you fetch. We have not used for the WP RSSaggregator yet but are considering it…

    @dougmbrockbank For every archive page created with WordPress, an RSS feed is created by default. WP RSS Aggregator will automatically detect the RSS feed when you add an archive page in the URL field of the Feed Source Details section, and use the data in the feed to curate content on your site.

    Thanks @decisiveliberty for sharing the information. You can also refer to our knowledge base article on how to find an RSS feed.
