Draft Preview
Find out before your visitors do.
Most visibility regressions are not decisions. They are side effects — a template change that quietly drops a canonical, a redesign that removes a heading structure. Draft Preview compares what you are about to publish against what is currently live, while it is still cheap to change your mind.
No card required.

Why this is worth a step
The cheapest moment to fix something is before it exists.
Once a regression is live, the cost is not just the fix. It is the time before anyone notices, the investigation into what changed, and whatever happened during the gap.
Before publish
A difference is visible, understood and reversible in a moment.
After publish
The same difference is now a live condition somebody has to find first.
What gets compared
The signals that quietly change when templates do.
These are the fields most likely to be altered by work that had nothing to do with them, which is exactly why they are worth checking deliberately.
-
Metadata
Title, description and the fields that identify the page.
-
Canonical
Whether the page still claims itself as authoritative.
-
Crawl signals
Directives that determine whether the page is eligible at all.
-
Structure
Heading hierarchy carrying what the page is about.
-
Schema
Machine-readable markup that is easy to break invisibly.
-
Presentation
How the page technically resolves compared with the live version.
What this does not do
It compares. It does not publish.
Draft Preview reads two URLs and tells you how they differ. It does not connect to your CMS, it does not hold a change pending approval, and it does not deploy anything. Publishing remains entirely in your systems, on your schedule.
The draft URL has to be reachable for comparison, and the live URL has to be the right one — comparing against the wrong page is the most common way this gets misread.
-
No CMS integration
Nothing is written to your content system.
-
No approval workflow
It does not gate or hold your release.
-
No deployment
Shipping the change is still your process.
What Draft Preview connects to
Pre-publish comparison sits between the work being built and the evidence that follows it.
Ship the change, not the regression.
