I recently connected a domain. Why don’t I see my site?
Once you've connected your domain and published your site, it can take up to 48 hours to verify the information you entered when you connected your domain. We’ll keep you up-to-date by email or SMS during this process.
If you still don’t see your site 48 hours after your domain is connected, you can troubleshoot potential domain issues.
Can you make my site available faster?
Making your site available around the world is an automated process called propagation and, unfortunately, Wix cannot make it any faster. It can take up to 48 hours, but is often completed sooner.
What is propagation?
Propagation is the process of making your site available and secure around the world. It can take up to 48 hours to complete. This means that your site may not be accessible from all devices, or may appear as insecure during this time. As soon as propagation is complete, your site will be accessible and secure worldwide.
How can I check my propagation status?
Go to whatsmydns.net to check which DNS records have propagated. Learn more.
Why do I only see my site working on some devices?
Don't worry, nothing's broken. This is expected while your site is propagating. Once propagation is complete (up to 48 hours), your site will work on all devices around the world.
Why do I see a message saying my site is not secure?
Nothing's wrong. You’re seeing this message because your site is still propagating. Once this process is complete (up to 48 hours), your site will have a valid SSL certificate and no longer appear insecure.
What happens when propagation is complete?
As soon as propagation is complete, we'll send you an email or SMS letting you know that your site is available worldwide.
