FreeNo signupNo account or emailLast checked November 2026

A free checker for whether a website uses Cloudflare. Enter a URL and it reads the response headers for Cloudflare's own markers, such as cf-ray, and for other CDN and hosting platforms including CloudFront, Fastly, Akamai, Vercel and Netlify. No signup, no email.

What it checks

  • Cloudflare headers: cf-ray, cf-cache-status and the cloudflare server value
  • Amazon CloudFront, Fastly, Akamai, Azure Front Door and Sucuri headers
  • Vercel, Netlify, Fly.io, Render and GitHub Pages platform headers

What you get

  • Yes or not detected for Cloudflare
  • Any other CDN or platform found
  • The header that proved each one

Limits

  • One request to the page you enter
  • A CDN that adds no identifying header is not detected
  • Cloudflare used for DNS only, without proxying, is not visible in headers
How CDN detection works

CDNs add headers to the responses they serve. Cloudflare adds cf-ray on proxied traffic, CloudFront adds x-amz-cf-id, and Vercel adds x-vercel-id. The tool uses only headers that a single provider sets, and shows the exact header so you can check it.

To see all response headers for a page, use the HTTP Header Checker.

Frequently asked questions

How do I check if a website uses Cloudflare?

Enter its address above. The tool requests the page and looks for Cloudflare's headers, such as cf-ray and server: cloudflare, and shows the one it found.

Can a site use Cloudflare without it showing here?

Yes. If Cloudflare handles only DNS and does not proxy traffic, or the site strips these headers, nothing identifies it. The tool reports not detected in that case.

What is a CDN and why does it matter for SEO?

A CDN serves copies of your pages from servers near the visitor, which lowers load time. Faster pages help Core Web Vitals, and a CDN can also absorb traffic spikes and some attacks.
