How can we determine which server a client would be utilizing for their website on Webflow?

TL;DR
  • Use DNS lookup tools to identify the domain's A records, typically resolving to AWS IPs (75.2.70.75 and 99.83.190.102).
  • Perform traceroute and GeoIP lookups to trace request paths and determine approximate server region based on those IPs.
  • Check Webflow’s hosting tab to verify correct DNS setup and understand that content is delivered via a global CDN rather than a fixed server.

To determine which server or region a client’s Webflow-hosted website is using, you’ll need to investigate DNS resolution and IP address routing, as Webflow does not publicly expose server details by default.

1. Check the Domain’s DNS Records

  • Use a DNS lookup tool like DNSChecker.org or the nslookup command.
  • Look up the domain’s A records.
  • If the site is properly pointed to Webflow, the IP addresses should be:
  • (a) 75.2.70.75, and
  • (b) 99.83.190.102

These are Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elastic Load Balancer IPs. Webflow uses AWS infrastructure globally.

2. Perform a Trace Route to the Domain

  • Use traceroute (Mac/Linux) or tracert (Windows) from your location to the domain (e.g., traceroute clientsite.com).
  • This will show the path your request takes to reach the Webflow server, including geographic hops.
  • The final IP should match one of Webflow’s A records.

3. Use Online Traceroute or GeoIP Tools

  • Sites like geoiplookup.net or ipinfo.io will give you a rough geographic location of the IP address.
  • Input the A record IPs (75.2.70.75 or 99.83.190.102) to see where they geographically resolve — typically pointing to AWS regions.

4. Understand Webflow’s Hosting Setup

  • Webflow uses AWS Cloudfront and Global CDN via Fastly for fast global delivery.
  • Clients accessing their site will connect to the nearest edge server, meaning website content is served based on the user's location, not a fixed “server”.

5. Confirm Hosting via Webflow Dashboard

  • Go to Webflow Project → Hosting Tab.
  • Confirm that the domain is properly connected with the correct A records and CNAME for the root and www versions.

Summary

You can’t pinpoint a single Webflow “server” for a site because Webflow uses cloud-based global delivery via AWS and CDN providers. Instead, determine the domain’s resolved A records and trace routes, which reveal Webflow’s load-balanced endpoints (75.2.70.75 and 99.83.190.102) and the closest delivery node based on the client’s location.
