Make your website live to the Internet
Put your site online — what the Make it live page does, how long it takes, and how to put changes live.
Updated
Open Make it live in your site's sidebar.
Making it live for the first time
- Your site needs to be built (it must have a home page).
- Confirm your email address — we send a link when you sign up (use Send it again in the banner if you can't find it).
- Activate the site: this adds it to your plan. See Activating a website.
- Going live starts automatically after activation. The page updates by itself.
Your site is then live at its free address, with HTTPS switched on automatically.
Changes after going live
Edits you make in the Builder change your draft. Click Make changes live on the Make it live page to put them online. (Menu changes, new events, products and other app data show up instantly without any extra step.)
What going live includes
Your website kept online 24/7 (fast, and secure with the padlock), served from a Content Delivery Network so it loads quickly from close to each visitor, a sitemap and robots.txt, your SEO title, description and sharing image (SEO & sharing), and your apps.
Going live history
The Make it live page lists every time you went live, with its result. If one fails, the reason is shown there — see Troubleshooting.
