Hi everyone,

I’m on a **Readymag Business plan** and used the **Export** feature to self-host my project, but I can’t get the exported version to load anywhere.

**Here’s what’s happening:**

- I downloaded the export package and unzipped it.

- When I open the main HTML file **locally** in any browser (Chrome/Safari/Firefox), the tab loads but the screen stays completely **blank** —no content at all.

- I also tried uploading the exported files to external hosting as a test, and the result is the same: the page loads but shows nothing.

**Additional context:**

- The original Readymag-hosted version does load, but it’s been **very slow and buggy** , which is why I’m trying to self-host it for better performance.

- Since the export doesn’t work locally either, it seems like something inside the exported package (scripts, file paths, initialization) is failing, but nothing obvious jumps out.

**What I’m looking for:**

- Has anyone run into exported Readymag projects showing a completely white/blank page?

- Are there known issues or steps I should check after exporting?

- Any guidance on debugging the export (e.g., what to check in DevTools or common export pitfalls) would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any help!

hey… its been a while since I used the export and uploaded it to my own server. But I remember, that there was a issue with some permission settings in the .htaccess file in the root folder of your webspace.

but first I would check the console of the dev-tools of the “blank” website. often you will get a hint there. then try to find out via searching on e.g. stackoverflow how to solve it.

in general I would not think, that hosting it on your own server would make it faster though…
