SiteVibes provides a Dev Mode feature that allows you to safely configure and test your implementation in a staging or development environment. This mode keeps all test data and settings completely separate from your production environment—giving you the flexibility to experiment without impacting live data.
✅ Why Use Dev Mode?
Safe testing environment – Test features and pixel behavior without affecting live data.
Separate data – All events, reviews, and user actions are isolated from production.
Easy transition – Once your setup is complete and verified, migrating to production is seamless.
Recommended workflow – We strongly recommend doing all configurations and testing in Dev Mode before going live.
