HSTS on the root domain
We are experiencing some redirection issues we have no control over as they are done in the root domain.
http://oldsite.com redirects to https://www.oldsite.com then finally to https://www.newsite.com
The redirection should be as follows:
http://oldsite.com -> https://oldsite.com -> https://www.newsite.com
Please update Optimzely’s configuration to do these redirects properly

Allow creation of Alerts from Application Insights
It would be useful to be able to create custom Azure Alerts from Application Insights for a DXP hosted site, but we can't due to permissions.

Immutable Backups
Immutable Backups are increasingly becoming cybersecurity and resilience best practice.
Currently CMS PaaS data is not covered by immutable backups. To further protect us against ransomware attacks and accidental or malicious data tampering having this as a standard or at least optional feature would be highly desirable, providing a reliable last line of defense for fast and trustworthy recovery after a cyber incident or operational failure.
Any update on timeline for its availability would be very much appreciated.22 votes -
PaasPortal feature to enable site maintenance mode
A control/button in the Paasportal to set the site into maintenance mode.
Currently we can only enable maintenance mode with a deployment - which we might not want to do.20 votes -
Allow developers to directly access databases in lower level environments
As a developer, allowing direct database access to lower level environments, such as integration, to troubleshoot issues or run queries to confirm schema/validate data. Direct access allows developers to do this quickly and efficiently, as the current ways of working with exports can be very cumbersome and time consuming for large databases.

Exclude the hostnames in manage websites when using PaaS Portal to copy database and blobs between environments
For CMS customers that need to copy database and blobs using PaaS Portal, the environment-specific web hostnames (Admin > Config tab > Manage Websites become overwritten. Therefore, users wishing to view content in the preproduction system are routed over to production until the admin puts all the pre-production hostnames back into the system.

When there are errors on the servicebus we don't log it. It would help if we logged errors for troubleshooting purposes.
When there are issues with the servicebus it is not possible to see what went wrong many times. You can go to the servicebus and look at the graph and see that there are "server errors" and "user errors" and "throttled messages"but there is no way to see the details of the server errors or the user errors.
Some times we can see a log entry in the CMS logs but not always and I guess it depends on the type of error.
If we had more information it would help when troubleshooting customers having problems with the servicebus.16 votes -
Auto Maintenance Page when origin server is not reachable
It will be good to have a maintenance page or custom error page automatically put up when origin server is not reachable e.g. 403, 502, 503 error response. So that user are not just seeing a generic error page which may impact business image.

Editing Cloudflare's custom error pages in DXP PaaS portal
In case of issues it's not looking good that the signature of error and challenge pages is Cloudflare. Customers want to control all content that could be served to their visitors.
It would be very useful if an DXP administrator could upload or edit the error pages and also be able to toggle a manual editable/uploadable "maintenance page". Both features should be near "live" and don't require code deployment.

Replicate the DXP environment locally using Docker
We are looking into setting up a "DXP like environment" using docker. Looking through the log files in the paasportal, I can se that the website app is turned into a docker image and hosted in an Azure container registry [myenv].azurecr.io.
It would be beneficial if we either could get access to this image repository or access the DockerFile used to create the image. If we had any of those, we could quite easily spin up a container locally that would allow us to debug potential problems that arise on our production web site.
We could of course debug using…11 votes -

API support for environment copy-back lifecycle and post-copy script execution
As a development team managing multiple lower environments, we want API/PowerShell endpoints to orchestrate the full copy-back workflow, including a mechanism to run registered post-copy maintenance scripts, so that I can automate environment refresh end-to-end without manual PaaS Portal interaction.
Currently, the copy-back workflow requires manual steps in the PaaS Portal (stop environment, copy databases/blobs from Production, start environment). After the copy, teams must anonymise PII from the copied databases to comply with GDPR before the environment can be used. This anonymisation step cannot be triggered or orchestrated through the platform.
We would like the EpiCloud module or REST API…

Alerting for suspicious bot traffic spikes
Customers never get alerted to suspicious traffic spikes unless they impact site speed or uptime.

Allow disabling warmup for integration and preproduction
Integration and preproduction environments are sometimes protected by IP-whitelists and in those cases the warmup step always fails with status code 401. The warmup system waits for about 15 minutes until these requests time out. This increases delivery times to these environments specially when CI/CD is set up.
Ex:
2026-03-10 12:40:24 Information Starting to warm up the targets slots...
2026-03-10 12:40:25 Information Preparing target slot for Go Live (<masked>/slot) (warming up the slot)
2026-03-10 12:52:21 Warning Timed out waiting for all instances for webapp <masked> and slot "slot" to become ready!

Avoid incorrect Instance restarts through PAAS Portal
I'm an Optimizely Admin, who does have full access to PAAS Portal.
Can you please consider an additional prompt on the restart (atleast for PROD), so the restart wouldn't be triggered mistakenly.
Also, considering the rolling restart would be ideal most of the time, can you enable the option "Restart One instance at a time" checked by default.
Thanks!

Custom Error Pages
Add support for Azure Custom Error Pages.
Our client has a requirement to display a custom error page when the web application is restarted.
We can use the maintenancepage,htm during deployments but they require a custom page for pure restarts as well.This custom error page feature in Azure provides what they need but its not currently supported by Optimizely DXP.

Support for Static IP address
When we (as an Optimizely DXP customer expose APIs for partner vendors to invoke, including the Optimizely DXP, we need to ensure that we meet The Group's security standards and one of the many facets to this is IP whitelisting.
This means we don't allow just any IP address to invoke our API. We have a firewall that implements a check on the incoming IP address(es and only allow ones that we know of.
It is a problem if the Optimizely DXP cannot provide us with persistent IP address ranges that we can whitelist on our side. We don't want…5 votes -
Ability to smoke-test more than 1 site during smooth deploy (slot domains)
Ability to smoke-test more than 1 site during smooth deploy (slot domains)
As a CMS developer and QA specialist we want to be able to smoke-test multiple sites so that we can detect potential issues on all our sites during deployment with DXP Cloud Platform to our multi-site CMS platform.
When we deploy to PREP/PROD we get a temporary SLOT to run our smoke-tests against. For example:
https://projectidprep-slot.dxcloud.episerver.net/
https://projectidprod-slot.dxcloud.episerver.net/
These are the default URL provided by Optimizely and are configured on the first website. We would like to be able to smoke-test multiple sites on the SLOT instance.
We could…

Upload very large single files using cms
People are needing to upload very large files, such as video files and are running into Cloudflare file size limits.
Being able to upload a very large file into the storage blobs using the Deployment API and then being able to refer to it in the CMS may be a way to work around the size limits in Cloudflare.
The problem trying to do this now is that uploading via the deployment API won't make it into the same container that the CMS is configured to read from. Also, usually when people add media, a reference in the DB is…
