Custom URL Paths in LWR Sites

Unlike Aura sites, LWR sites in Experience Cloud support custom URL paths, meaning no more /s cluttering up your site’s URL—for example, https://mycustomdomain.com/mypage.

Before Winter ’23, you could create an authenticated or an unauthenticated LWR site. Unauthenticated sites supported custom URL paths, but authenticated sites included /s at the end of the base URL—for example, https://mycustomdomain.com/s/mypage.

LWR sites created in Winter ’23 or later no longer include /s in their URLs and are authenticated sites by default. Authenticated sites allow users to log in and access user-specific data, but you can also include public pages or make the entire site publicly accessible.

Sites that don’t use /s can still access Visualforce pages by instead appending vforcesite to the base URL—for example, https://mycustomdomain.com/vforcesite/mypage. You can also find the vforcesite URL in Setup | Custom URLs.

Unauthenticated LWR sites created before Winter ’23 are open to anyone on the web and don’t support login or authentication. Therefore, the Members, Contributors, Login & Registration, and Emails areas in the Administration workspace are unavailable because their settings don’t apply to unauthenticated sites.
