"This website has no RSS feed" is often not true. Plenty of well-known sites publish a feed that is simply hard to find, and FeedBro finds it when you paste the site's address. For the sites that really have none, FeedBro watches the page and brings in each new post. Here are real examples, checked in October 2026.
Sites that have a feed, though you may not see it
We pasted each of these sites' addresses into FeedBro's finder, and it found the feed itself:
- NPR: feeds.npr.org/1002/rss.xml
- CoinDesk: coindesk.com/arc/outboundfeeds/rss/
- Futurism: futurism.com/feed
- Product Hunt: producthunt.com/feed
- The Verge: theverge.com/rss/index.xml
- Hacker News: news.ycombinator.com/rss
- Apple Newsroom: apple.com/newsroom/rss-feed.rss
None of them show an obvious RSS button on their home page. FeedBro reads the page's header, its links, the usual addresses and the sitemap, so you don't have to know where the feed is. See how FeedBro finds the feed for you.
Sites that really have none
Some sites publish no feed that we could find, and their pages are the only list of what is new:
- Company newsrooms and "latest news" sections. Often built as a page, not a feed.
- Careers pages. Each new opening is a new item. See job alerts for any careers page.
- Online shops. Products, prices and stock, but no feed. See what FeedBro tracks in shops.
- Community and startup sites. For example, Indie Hackers has no feed that FeedBro finds, but FeedBro reads its page as a list of 19 posts.
- Some news agencies and big publishers. We found no feed for Reuters, AP News or Bloomberg.
- Social profiles. Public Instagram accounts are followed directly. See following Instagram accounts.
How to follow a site with no feed
- Paste its address into Add.
- If FeedBro finds no feed, it describes the page: "a list of 19 posts", "a shop with 31 products", "a jobs page". Check that it is what you want.
- Choose Watch this page. New items arrive in your reader like any other article.
The step-by-step version is in how to subscribe to a website that has no RSS feed.
An honest limit
Some large sites block automated readers, so FeedBro may not always be able to open them, and it can't read pages that need you to sign in. FeedBro tries several routes before it says so. If a page won't open, you'll see a clear message, and you can still try the site's own feed address if you know it.
Does it matter whether a feed exists?
A feed is the most exact way to follow a site, and FeedBro always prefers it. But you no longer have to give up on a site because it has none. Read do you still need RSS? for the difference.
