Can we use pages from a different server?

Design help General

Hey Guys,

Would it be possible to have a website with some pages hosted on a server other than Webflow?

An example of such a website:

exampledomain.com - built in Webflow
exampledomain.com/page1 - built in Webflow
exampledomain.com/page2 - built in Webflow
exampledomain.com/page2 - built in Ruby
Loading... - built in Ruby

We got told that this is possible using reverse proxy.
Would this work?

Thank you, Josef

Reverse proxies do work and Cloudflare is a frequent choice with Webflow projects.

Just understand that there are limitations.

Thank you, Jeff!
Do you have any more information on how to set it up, by any chance?

I tried Googling it but haven’t found a good tutorial yet.

Finsweet has some videos on reverse proxy setup, and specifically site merge setups like the one you’re describing.

Do some searching there and in their Youtube channel. It might be paywalled to Finsweet+ members, if you join Finsweet+ you’ll definitely find it in the resources section.

Thank you, Michael!

I found a couple tutorials.

This is what I have so far:

1. Created a test Webflow site
domain: https://www.getyourwin.site/

2. domain setup in Webflow:

3. Domain setup in Cloudflare:

4. Worker Code:

5. Workers Routes

Desired behavior:
getyourwin.site/page1 should show content from User Login - CareerFitter.com

But for some reason it’s not working.

Do you guys have any idea why it’s not working?

Thank you
Josef

Hey Joseph,

Dig through those tutorials more carefully, your site is not proxied in the DNS. However you need to understand how to set that up correctly to prevent SSL renewal failures later.
