  1. We need to receive alerts when a site goes into failover. The failover CMS should show a warning that its disabled during failover (instead of error message).

  2. 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!
    2026-03-10 12:52:21 Information Validating deployment ID uniqueness between slots…

  3. 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

  4. 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…

  5. 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…

  7. Please make i possible to be able to flag for a rolling restart (one instance at a time) when executing deployments -through DevOps / GitHub release pipelines.

  8. 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!

  9. Customers never get alerted to suspicious traffic spikes unless they impact site speed or uptime.
    Ability to establish alerting for suspicious attacks, even if they are addressed by cloudflare before they impact site performance.

  10. I am a senior developer. We have been facing this issue where when we remove properties of block type the site fails to start and throws database timeout during ModelSyncInitialization. This happens even when a single property of block type is removed.
    We have an open ticket with support and have tried a few solutions but the only option that works is to increase the DatabaseQueryTimeout to an hour or so.

  11. Hi Team,
    In the PAAS portal, we can download database, and logs for any environment. Similarly, can we have an option to download memory dump with time range selection for any environment?
    Most of the time, the cause of timeout, and other unknown errors is custom code or data. It's useful for the customer for their initial investigation of such issues.
    I can see a similar tool is developed by the Optimizely team and it is compatible with IIS but not with the DXP environment ( Linux https://github.com/episerver/DeveloperTools/tree/master
    Can you please check the possibility?

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. 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…

  16. 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.
