## When to Stop and Switch
39+
40+
Automatic feed generation is a fast first try, not the final answer for every site.
41+
42+
Move on to [Creating Custom Feeds](/creating-custom-feeds) when:
43+
44+
- the generated feed misses important fields
45+
- the wrong items are extracted
46+
- the site needs a stable, reviewable setup
47+
- you need `browserless` or more precise selectors to make the feed reliable

2. **Copy the URL** (it looks like `domainname.tld/whatever.rss`)

3. **Add it to your feed reader** - paste the URL and you're done!

## What Success Looks Like
15+
16+
You are successful when:
17+
18+
- the feed URL opens from your own `html2rss-web` instance
19+
- your feed reader accepts the URL
20+
- new items appear without you editing any YAML
21+
22+
If that works, keep using included configs for that site. It is the lowest-maintenance path.

## Example

1626
If you see a config file named `example.com/news.yml`, you can access it at:
1727
`http://localhost:3000/example.com/news.rss`
1828

1929
Just replace `localhost:3000` with your html2rss-web address.
30+
31+
## When to Move On
32+
33+
Use a custom config when:
34+
35+
- the site you want is not in the directory
36+
- the included feed misses fields you care about
37+
- you need a more specific page, section, or output format
38+
39+
Next step: [Create Custom Feeds](/creating-custom-feeds)
