Vercel + Namecheap stack1 min read
Vercel preview deployments — why they're a productivity unlock.
Every commit gets a unique URL. Share with clients, test on real devices, never break production again.
Overview
Preview deployments are Vercel's killer feature. Every commit produces a unique URL — you can test changes in production-like environments without merging.
What you can do with them
• Share a work-in-progress URL with a client before merging.
• Test on real mobile devices via the preview URL.
• Run Lighthouse against a preview to catch regressions.
• QA a PR before it touches the production domain.
How to find them
Vercel dashboard → your project → Deployments. Or the PR itself has a Vercel bot comment with the preview URL.
Old previews stick around
Vercel keeps preview URLs alive indefinitely. Old branches' URLs still work, which is useful for showing client X what their version looked like in March.
