Useful details

Questions about this task.

Check how this works with your project and hosting.

Can I preview a site before uploading it?

Yes. Static project pages can be served locally on your Mac. Pages that depend on external services still need those services to be available.

Does local preview run PHP or a project build command?

The local preview serves project files; it does not provide a PHP runtime or automatically run a framework build. PHP Preview uses a configured server, and projects with build steps need their usual development tools.
