Preview WebPage Issue

Sometimes when I try to preview my webpage I get the message in the attached screenshot. Other times it works just fine. Any idea why? I'm using Safari but I get the same message on Chrome.
Thanks

Alan

Real-Time Preview is flaky.  Sometimes it works, sometimes not.

Use right click > Open in Browser.  See screenshot.

Or change your Prefences In the latest DW CC 2019 to Default to Static Browser Preview.

if you want a live preview/update in browser give LiveReload a try, you can download extensions for Firefox and Chrome that work with the app. I've used the Firefox extension and it worked perfectly for me. The real-time preview in Dreamweaver is a hit and miss so I I never use it.
