Pre-conditions for Staging Websites
Before you start, there's something you should know:
IP Protection and Authentication: Staging servers often come with IP protection or require authentication.
Limited Accessibility: Sometimes, these servers are limited to specific geographic locations.
Whitelist Bablic Servers: For Bablic to crawl and scan your staging website, you'll need to whitelist our servers. This ensures Bablic can access the site for translation and other functions.
Summary
Managing your staging and production websites shouldn't be a hassle. With Bablic, you get the flexibility of testing on your staging site before going live. Just make sure to whitelist Bablic servers if your staging environment has IP protection or authentication.
