Add an HLS and media delivery diagnostic
Cloudways could add a diagnostic view for sites that serve authorized HLS media. It should test .m3u8 playlists and segment requests for MIME types, CORS headers, byte-range support, cache behavior, redirects, and CDN propagation, then explain which layer is causing playback or download failures.
A public URL tester would also help site owners reproduce issues before opening a support ticket. Tools such as HLS Downloader (https://hlsdownloader.com/) depend on standards-compliant playlist and segment responses when users save media they are authorized to access, so a server-side report would make misconfiguration much easier to isolate.
