The quick verdict
One sentence, then the details

Credit where it’s due
What Claude Publish does well
- ✓ Instant: publish straight from the chat where you built the artifact.
- ✓ Native: no extra tool, account, or export step to learn.
- ✓ Great for quickly showing someone an artifact you just made.
- ✓ Lives inside Claude’s own sharing flow, so it’s one click away.
The upgrade path
What Pagelive adds
Branded, custom domain
Publish to a clean URL on your own domain (Solo): proposals.yourstudio.com, not a generic share link.
Password protection
Gate confidential pages behind a PBKDF2-hashed password, enforced at the edge with signed cookies.
Noindex by default
Pages ship robots meta + X-Robots-Tag headers and serve from an isolated content plane, walled off from your dashboard.
Full analytics
Opens, unique viewers, dwell time, country, referrer, and a by-day breakdown, so you follow up while you’re top of mind.
Version history
Update the page anytime; the link never changes, and previous versions are kept so you can restore.
Removable badge
Keep the page fully branded: the Pagelive badge is removable with Solo.

Publish with Pagelive →Frequently asked
Yes. A Pagelive link opens in any browser: your client never needs Claude, an app, or a login, unless you’ve added a password. It’s a normal URL you can send to anyone.
No. Pages are noindex by default. We send the robots meta and X-Robots-Tag headers that tell search engines not to list it, and pages serve from an isolated content plane. You can opt a page into indexing if you ever want that.
Yes. Install the Pagelive connector and just say “publish this” in chat: your artifact goes straight to a branded, tracked link via MCP. See the connector to set it up.
