Viewing Changes Live
How to see your changes on the live website.
After You Push
When you git push your changes:
- GitHub receives your changes (instant)
- Netlify detects the update (few seconds)
- Site rebuilds (3-5 minutes)
- Live site updates (automatic)
Checking Deployment Status
Visit: https://app.netlify.com/
Look for your site and check the "Deploys" tab.
Statuses:
- 🟢 Published - Live on the site
- 🟡 Building - In progress
- 🔴 Failed - Something went wrong
Viewing the Live Site
Visit: https://lowdo.netlify.app
Hard refresh to see changes: Cmd+Shift+R (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+F5 (Windows)
Pull Request Previews
If you create a pull request on GitHub, Netlify generates a preview URL. This lets you test changes before merging to main.
Troubleshooting
"Changes don't appear"
- Wait full 3-5 minutes
- Hard refresh browser
- Check deployment status
"Build failed"
- Check Netlify deploy logs
- Look for error messages
