Webflow’s Security Features
Webflow isn’t just a pretty design tool—it packs serious security benefits. As a hosted platform, it removes the complexity of manual security management. Here are its key security features:
1. Automatic SSL Certificates
Every Webflow site comes with a free SSL certificate, encrypting data between the visitor’s browser and your site. This is a must-have for protecting user data and boosting search rankings.
2. DDoS Protection
Webflow hosts its sites on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Fastly, meaning built-in DDoS mitigation is part of the package. While it doesn’t have the advanced protection of Cloudflare’s enterprise offerings, it provides a strong layer of security against attacks.
3. Managed Hosting & Automatic Updates
Unlike traditional CMS platforms (like WordPress) that require manual updates and plugin management, Webflow handles everything behind the scenes. There are no security patches to install or outdated plugins to worry about.
4. Role-Based Access Control
For teams, Webflow offers role-based permissions, ensuring that only the right people have access to sensitive parts of your website.
5. Secure Backups & Versioning
Webflow automatically backs up your site, allowing you to restore it easily if something goes wrong. This built-in redundancy ensures you’re never left stranded.
