Site preview

Each site in Sites shows a picture of its live home page, so you recognize it at a glance.

  • It needs the site's live URL (Settings → General). Until the first picture is ready, the card says "Preview on its way".
  • It works wherever the site is hosted (Netlify, Vercel, Cloudflare, your own server): Pluma doesn't wait for a message from the host. After content changes (publishing, unpublishing, deleting), it looks at the live home page every few minutes for up to 20 minutes, and takes a new picture as soon as the page changes, which means the new build is live.
  • It also looks once a day, in case the site changed outside Pluma.
  • The picture is the first screen of the home page on a laptop (1280 × 800). Pluma takes it from the public internet, like a visitor: nothing is installed on your site.
