How to integrate Cloudflare with Webflow

Cloudflare supercharges Webflow sites with enhanced security, global performance optimization, and serverless computing capabilities.

While no official Cloudflare app exists in Webflow's marketplace, you can use native DNS integration for basic setup, embed Cloudflare services like Turnstile for bot protection, or build advanced integrations using Cloudflare's APIs and Workers for dynamic functionality and full-stack applications.

Use native DNS and domain features

Connect your Cloudflare-managed domain to Webflow through DNS configuration for immediate performance and security benefits:

• DNS-only setup routes traffic to Webflow while maintaining Cloudflare's DNS management
• SSL certificate management works seamlessly when configured correctly
• Basic caching and optimization through Cloudflare's free tier

Configure DNS records in Cloudflare's dashboard by adding two A records pointing to 34.193.204.92 and 34.193.69.252 for your root domain, plus a CNAME record for www pointing to proxy-ssl.webflow.com. Keep Cloudflare's proxy disabled (gray cloud) to prevent SSL conflicts with Webflow's infrastructure.

Use Cloudflare Turnstile and embed features

Replace traditional CAPTCHA with Cloudflare's privacy-focused Turnstile widget directly in Webflow forms:

• Bot protection without friction using invisible challenges that respect user privacy
• GDPR-compliant verification that doesn't track users across sites
• Custom styling options to match your site's design

Add Turnstile by inserting the script tag in your site's custom code settings, then embed the widget in your forms. This provides enterprise-grade spam protection without the user experience drawbacks of traditional CAPTCHAs.

For video content, use Cloudflare Stream embeds to deliver adaptive bitrate streaming globally. Generate embed codes from Stream's dashboard and add them via Webflow's HTML embed element for responsive video players.

Build with Webflow and Cloudflare APIs

Direct API integration unlocks advanced capabilities beyond basic hosting, enabling dynamic content, serverless functions, and AI-powered features. This approach suits teams needing custom authentication, real-time data processing, or edge computing functionality that extends Webflow's native capabilities.

Key capabilities include deploying full-stack applications via Webflow Cloud (powered by Cloudflare Workers), implementing server-side rendering for dynamic content, and integrating AI models at the edge for intelligent user experiences.

Deploy full-stack applications with Webflow Cloud

Transform static Webflow sites into dynamic applications using Cloudflare's edge runtime:

1. Initialize Webflow Cloud project using the CLI to scaffold Next.js or Astro applications that integrate with your Webflow design system
2. Connect GitHub repositories for automated deployments triggered by code commits, enabling continuous integration workflows
3. Deploy to Cloudflare Workers automatically, leveraging global edge locations for sub-50ms response times worldwide

The Webflow Cloud platform handles environment variables, database connections, and asset optimization while maintaining visual consistency through DevLink components.

Implement server-side rendering for personalization

Add dynamic content to static Webflow pages using Cloudflare Workers:

1. Intercept requests at the edge using Workers to fetch external data like user location, API responses, or personalized content
2. Modify HTML before delivery by parsing Webflow's output with libraries like Cheerio to inject dynamic elements
3. Cache personalized content intelligently using Cloudflare's Cache API with user-specific keys

Deploy Workers via the Wrangler CLI or directly through the dashboard, binding them to specific routes like /api/* for backend functionality.

Enable AI-powered features with Workers AI

Integrate cutting-edge AI models directly into your Webflow site:

1. Deploy AI models at the edge using Cloudflare's GPU-accelerated infrastructure for inference tasks like text generation or image analysis
2. Process user inputs in real-time through Workers AI endpoints that handle natural language queries or computer vision
3. Store vectors in Vectorize for semantic search and recommendation engines that enhance user discovery

Access models like Llama 3 or Mistral through the Workers AI API, paying only for actual usage without infrastructure management.

What you can build

Integrating Cloudflare with Webflow enables sophisticated web experiences that combine visual design excellence with enterprise-grade infrastructure.

• High-traffic marketing sites with bot protection: Deploy Cloudflare's DDoS mitigation and bot management to handle traffic spikes during campaigns while Turnstile prevents form spam, achieving 80% reduction in malicious traffic
• Multi-region e-commerce stores: Combine Webflow's visual commerce tools with Cloudflare's edge caching and Workers for inventory APIs, reducing page load times by 40% and increasing conversion rates
• Serverless contact forms: Process Webflow form submissions with Cloudflare Workers for secure handling, validation, and easy integration with third-party services.
• AI-powered educational platforms: Use Workers AI for automated quiz generation, personalized learning paths, and intelligent content recommendations while hosting course materials in Webflow's CMS
