Testing cside on staging Environments

Overview

Our customers often like to test out the edge infrastructure on a staging environment before taking it to production. While this is fully supported, it's important to note that developer environments differ from production sites in several ways.

Common Considerations

IP Restrictions

If a staging environment is only accessible to specific IPs, we cannot retrieve the payload of first-party scripts.

• Third-party scripts will continue to work as they are typically publicly accessible
• The dashboard will still display the list of scripts but won't show the payload of first-party scripts

SSL Certificates

First-party scripts require valid SSL certificate validation.

• Self-signed certificates will prevent first-party scripts from appearing in the dashboard
• Ensure your staging environment uses valid SSL certificates for full functionality

Local Testing

Local testing environments are supported.
