Monitoring Webflow sites for clients
Webflow is a favorite for agency client work, and its managed hosting is reliable — but plenty still sits in your court: the custom domain and its SSL, redirects after a redesign, Core Web Vitals as pages get heavier, and SEO settings that a publish can quietly change.
What's still your responsibility
Webflow runs the servers, but the custom domain's SSL and DNS, 301 redirects, on-page SEO fields, and performance are all things you configure — and all things that can break on a republish or a domain change.
Monitor from the outside
You don't need access to the Webflow project to watch uptime, SSL, domain expiry, performance, broken links and on-page SEO — they're all visible externally, so you can monitor a client's site even when they own the account.
Turn it into a retainer
For freelancers and agencies watching many client sites, a monthly 'your site is healthy' report is an easy add-on for Webflow clients who love the design but don't think about the plumbing.
Frequently asked questions
Doesn't Webflow handle everything?
Webflow handles core hosting and SSL provisioning, but custom-domain SSL/DNS, redirects, SEO settings and performance are yours to monitor.
Do I need the Webflow project to monitor a site?
No — external monitoring covers uptime, SSL, domain, performance, SEO and links without project access.
