Hyperflow: Supercharge Your Webflow-hosted Sites

Our clients frequently ask for help on projects that push Webflow beyond its capabilities.

Whether it's custom URL paths & hierarchies, faster sites, dynamic SEO, complex integrations, content security… many of these require features that Webflow's hosting cannot natively provide.

So we've extended it with a custom reverse-proxy framework that eliminates these limitations, and solves these problems for Webflow clients.

We call this service framework Hyperflow.

Dedicated Services

What is Hyperflow?

Your own personal tech team, on-demand.

Hyperflow is a collection of powerful services that are built on a reverse proxy framework we’ve custom-built specifically for Webflow.

It basically allows us to add all of the things that Webflow can’t do natively.

What can Hyperflow do?

So far, our primary services include;

HyperSpeed

Maximize your Webflow-hosted site's performance through high-performance edge-caching and image optimization.

This process also reduces load on Webflow's origin servers by as much as 99%, which helps if you are struggling to stay with Webflow's bandwidth limits on your plan.

Fluid paths

Assign any path to any page, with full SEO treatment- canonical URLs and sitemap are automatically updated.

  • Performance boost your Webflow-hosted with with edge caching and full image optimization, including your CMS-stored images.
  • Cache your site for substantial traffic reduction if you are at risk of exceeding your Webflow hosting plan limits.

Merge & Split Sites

  • Merged sites. Combine several sites under a single domain.
  • Split sites. Break one Webflow hosted site into multiple, for e.g. lead funnel pages for your specific products.

FAQs

How is my site configuration affected?

Your domain name will remain wherever you've registered it.

Your DNS will need to be migrated to Cloudflare ( we will set that up for you ). This process is simple, and once it's setup you simply change your nameservers at your domain registrar to use Cloudflare's DNS.

Once that's complete, we do all of the programming and configuration needed within your Cloudflare account.

There are no changes to your Webflow hosting or hosting configuration.

Is my site still secure?

Yes. Your site has end-to-end SSL.

Are there any interruptions to my site or publishing process during setup?

No. You can continue publishing and updating your site as normal.

We'll build and test your reverse proxy, and the process of activating it is seamless. However we do prefer to do this step after hours ( as defined by your site's primary audience & geographic location ), just as a part of our sysops best practices.

If you use Google analytics, it's an ideal way to determine your daily and weekly low-traffic periods.

What if I wanted to "undo" the proxy setup someday?

Any time you want to disable the reverse proxy, you can either;

  • Return your Nameservers to their original settings, and use your original DNS, or;
  • Switch off Cloudflare's proxy settings in the Cloudflare-hosted DNS.

Either approach will return your Webflow site to its original un-proxied configuration.

How do updates work with caching?

In an edge cached site, our goal is to cache your Webflow site as much as possible. We can configure your caching depending on your publishing needs.

Typically, we use a 4 hour cache for HTML, which means that if you edit a blog post and republish it, it may take up to 4 hours for those changes to appear for some users. We can vary this to balance your performance goals with your update needs.

Does this work with Webflow ECommerce?

This is the one situation we have not fully tested. None of our current clients use Webflow ECommerce. If you use it, let us know.

How quickly can you implement this for us?

Contact us to make arrangements as soon as possible, and we'll schedule in your reverse proxy build. It takes less than a week for us to complete setup, but we have a lot of client requests so the timing will depend on our availability.

If you are in an emergency situation, let us known that you need an emergency solution, and we'll see if we can re-prioritize our project commitments. There's a surcharge for this added work of 50%.

What is the implementation process?

Once the invoicing is complete, the process looks like this;

  1. DNS Setup
    • You send us your full DNS zonefile, exported from your DNS
    • We setup your Cloudflare account and DNS ( you have full access to your own Cloudflare account )
  2. Nameserver migration
    • You update your nameservers ( this is seamless )
    • We verify all traffic is routing properly
  3. Pro account setup ( optional )
    • Optionally, if you want some of Cloudflare's advanced features like cache reporting and Image optimization, you'll then add your credit card and enable Cloudflare pro.
  4. Reverse proxy build and configuration
    • We build, install, and configure your reverse proxy and caching settings
    • Activation, we turn on your proxy and test it
  5. Monitoring
    • We watch your traffic statistics over the next few days to ensure everything is optimized

We'll do videos for you to familiarize you with Cloudflare's reports and how to monitor them.
