Safe Update Testing
- Create a staging site for safe website updates and changes.
- Test new features, plugins, or code without affecting the live site.
- Avoid unexpected downtime by verifying updates first.
Parallel Maintenance
- Maintain two parallel environments: live and staging.
- Ensure all work is approved and tested in staging before live implementation.
- Minimize risks by checking changes in a controlled environment.
Approval and Testing
- Use the staging environment for client approvals before publishing updates.
- Test major functionalities like checkout, forms, and speed on staging.
- Troubleshoot and resolve issues on staging before going live.
