I am currently testing out DevKinsta after using Local by Flywheel for sme time. I have become accustomed to “Live Reload” which automatically updates the browser when a CSS file changes.

Is this feature available on DevKinsta?

Hi @Eric_Davis, welcome to DevKinsta and thanks for reaching out!  
Our current setup does not have hot reloading like [Instant Reload](https://localwp.com/help-docs/local-features/instant-reload/) but please feel free to write a [feature request](https://community.kinsta.com/c/feature-requests/6) for it!

By the way, if you want to do this the more “manual” way, it’s very straightforward with [this Chrome Extension](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/live-reload/jcejoncdonagmfohjcdgohnmecaipidc)/works with DevKinsta.

Here’s a decent [tutorial](https://www.webmastros.com/how-to-auto-reload-browser-while-developing-a-wordpress-theme-or-plugin/) if you need it. I found I had to refresh the page once after saving the rule for the auto reloading to start working.
