Yes, FlyingPress supports staging and development environments, and they do not count against your license limit.

,stage.
,test.

Popular staging platforms:
.bigscoots-staging.com
.cloudwaysapp.com
.closte.com
.e.wpstage.net
.flywheelstaging.com
.instawp.xyz
.kinsta.cloud
.onrocket.site
.pantheonsite.io
.pressdns.com

.sg-host.com

.tastewp.com

.wpdns.site
.wpengine.com
.zipwp.link
Note on local environments
FlyingPress won’t work properly on local machines (like localhost
) because our cloud servers are unable to access your site to fetch pages and generate optimizations such as critical CSS, unused CSS removal, and image processing.
Example
If you have a single site license, you can activate FlyingPress on both example.com
and staging.example.com
without using up an extra license slot.
This allows safe testing and optimization before pushing changes live.
