- | **A:** The development server is exact when it comes to the URL. "www.site.com" is different than "site.com". So make sure you are accessing the site with the URL you crawled. If you crawled "www.site.com", then you will access the site as "www.site.com". If you crawled "site.com", then you will access the site with "site.com". Only after publishing, the redirects will be added, so "site.com" will go to the primary site "www.site.com" and vice versa. | + | **A:** The development server expects exact addresses.
