Adding Shortcuts to any of your favourite websites on Mac is easy. You can either place the shortcut on the desktop or add it to the Dock for more easy access.

Add Shortcut to Any Website on Mac

A good way to make your favourite website readily accessible on your Mac is to add a shortcut to the website on the Dock of your Mac.

Once a shortcut to a website has been added to the desktop or to the Dock, you can simply click on that shortcut to immediately start reading articles published by your favourite website.

2. Once the website opens in Safari browser, select the the entire URL Address to the website that you will see in the address bar of the Safari browser (See image below).

Now, any time you want to visit this website, you can simply click on the shortcut to the website as available on the Desktop or on the Dock.
