So, you get an automated solution, ensuring your sites are up and running with no breakages.
What is Visual Regression Testing (VRT)?
Visual regression testing ensures nothing breaks after an update. It captures screenshots of the website before and after the updates and compares them. It also checks for visual discrepancies between images across different browsers and screens, ensuring the website's appearance remains intact.
And if anything goes awry with the update, Cloudways with SafeUpdates automatically rolls back to the most recent backup before the update, keeping your sites up and running at all times.
How much will it cost me?
SafeUpdates is priced at $3/site per month for up to 5 websites, exclusive to Cloudways users. And if you have 6 or more websites, the price drops to $2/site.
