The live preview won't load
Updated October 2, 2026
The preview in the Website editor, Design, Layout and dashboard pages shows your real site.
- Click Try again. A new site can take a moment to be ready.
- Check your connection.
- Refresh the portal page.
- Look for a message. "Preview appears once your domain is connected" means no address is set up for your café yet. Open the Domain page to check.
- Check your subscription. A lapsed subscription takes your site offline, which also affects the preview. See Billing problems and lapsed subscriptions.
Note: The preview shows your draft, so it can differ from the live site until you publish.
