What are some additional tools or apps that work well with Webflow, such as analytics, social sharing, commenting, email (specifically Mailchimp), and CDN/security?

TL;DR
  • Integrate tools like Google Analytics, Tag Manager, Disqus, and Mailchimp by adding embed scripts or connecting Webflow forms through form action URLs or Zapier.
  • Use Cloudflare for added security and customization by updating DNS settings, while Webflow’s built-in CDN generally handles performance needs.

Webflow integrates well with various third-party tools for analytics, social sharing, commenting, email marketing (like Mailchimp), and CDN/security. These tools can enhance your site’s functionality and performance without direct code.

1. Analytics Tools

  • Google Analytics 4: Add your GA4 Measurement ID in Project Settings → Integrations or manually using the Global Custom Code area.
  • Google Tag Manager: Embed the GTM container code in your site’s <head> and <body> sections via Custom Code settings.
  • Fathom Analytics: A privacy-focused alternative to Google Analytics; simple script integration via Custom Code.

2. Social Sharing

  • AddThis: Offers customizable sharing buttons. Embed its script via Before tag section.
  • ShareThis: Another option for social sharing buttons that supports inline and floating options.
  • SociableKIT: Used to embed live feeds from Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, etc. Integrates by inserting embed codes into Webflow elements.

3. Comment Systems

  • Disqus: Popular third-party commenting tool; embed a Universal Code snippet in a Webflow Embed element.
  • Muut: Lightweight community and commenting system; it uses JavaScript embeds.
  • Commento (self-hosted or cloud): A privacy-focused option integrating via a simple script.

4. Email Marketing (Mailchimp)

  • Mailchimp integrates smoothly using:
  • Webflow Forms: Set the form action to your Mailchimp form action URL (found in your Mailchimp embed code).
  • Zapier: Automate workflows to send Webflow form submissions directly to Mailchimp lists without manual code.
  • Udesly: Convert Webflow forms to work directly with Mailchimp via their tool if needed.

5. CDN and Security Tools

  • Webflow Hosting: Already uses Enterprise-grade CDN via Fastly and AWS, so most users won’t need additional CDN setup.
  • Cloudflare: Can be used for added WAF (Web Application Firewall), DDoS protection, and custom caching. You’ll need to:
  • Point DNS to Cloudflare’s nameservers.
  • Ensure Webflow’s A records (a) 75.2.70.75 and (b) 99.83.190.102 are correctly added in Cloudflare DNS settings.
  • Turn off orange cloud proxy for DNS-only mode if conflicts occur.
  • Security Headers: Use Meta Tags in Webflow’s Global Custom Code to set security-related headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, etc., or configure through Cloudflare.

Summary

To enhance your Webflow site, use Google Analytics, Mailchimp, Disqus, and Cloudflare for specialized needs. Integration typically involves adding embed codes or connecting tools via Webflow form actions or third-party services like Zapier. For most users, Webflow's built-in CDN and performance setup are sufficient.
