WordPress Staging Made Simple

Staging is a technology that makes it safe to test changes on your WordPress website. It works by making an exact copy of your site into a new environment. This separate, duplicate site doesn't affect your live website at all and is completely hidden from users and search engines. With it you have the freedom to test new changes safely, knowing that if anything breaks it won't risk interrupting your live site. Update themes, add new content, experiment with new plugins, and more. Once you're satisfied with your changes, you can easily publish them to your live site with just a click.

Just about anyone who has a live website can take advantage of staging. Staging lets you to review changes before rolling them out to your live site, which gives you a chance to make sure everything is perfect for your visitors. And since even the smallest change to a website can potentially cause problems and break things, we always recommend testing changes in a staged environment before pushing anything to a live site. This is particularly true for mission-critical websites. Ecommerce sites risk losing revenue if they push out untested changes that cause their shopping cart to go down. Brands risk harming their reputation if their live site breaks. And companies of all sizes benefit when they have a chance to secure all necessary approvals and compliance checks before publishing.
