Every site on CloudCannon has a matching .cloudvent.net URL. Use this to test on a live site without having to set up your own domain.

Testing domains are generated with an adjective and a noun. For example: grey-grouse.cloudvent.net or brave-submarine.cloudvent.net. To stop serving content on this domain, add Password Authentication or contact support.
