How does preview mode compare to production? What’s different?
From the Tailor AI team · Reviewed
Answer
Preview mode is designed to closely match production, but it is not a perfect substitute for live traffic.
Layout, content, targeting, and tracking should behave the same in preview as in production. Things that can differ: CDN cache is not warmed for preview requests, so initial load may take longer; allocation/stickiness behaves differently because preview forces a specific variant; analytics attribution may treat preview hits differently; and user context (auth, cookies, enrichment) can differ from a real visitor's session.
What I'd do next
- Use preview mode for QA with confidence.
- If loading speed in preview seems slow, that’s normal and not reflective of production.
