Super fast Staging Site Deployment

Adrien

I'd love to see in Enhance a way to deploy staging sites as quickly as instaWP does it, for example.

When I create a staging environment right now, I have to wait 10 minutes to a few hours for my LetsEncrypt certificate to be issued. I've noticed all solutions like InstaWP use Bitdefender certificates. Is this the trick to accelerating things?

Being able to deploy a staging environment and have it working immediately (2–3 minutes) would be really convenient for clients and developers.

I already discussed this with Adam and I think he's working on something for quicker LetsEncrypt deployment.

Few hours sounds like a lot. I am yet to check into this feature. Something is way off here. It doesn't take more than a minute to generate Let's encrypt cert.

Adrien

gavin oh yes can you check please and let me know if you're facing the same thing.

Adrien It's weird. It works very fast for me.

Adrien

AdamM OH! really ?!? That's super news because I've been struggling with that.
I'm going to recheck and change my staging domain which is something like: yourside.SEfdlkERDS4554fDsdsd.com

I think Let 'sEncrypt may not like it.

Same as AdamM. it is very quick for me as well.

Adrien

Hold on, guys. You agree that we're referring to the staging domain in Enhance that you've created for all of your clients to use.
So each client site is a sub-domain of that staging root domain.
Correct?

In my case this is : staging.hub.example.com
