Webflow Status: How to Check If Webflow Is Down Right Now (2026)
Where to find the official Webflow status page, what each component status means, and how to monitor your Webflow site independently from the platform.
Is Webflow Down Right Now?
Check status.webflow.com for official real-time status. The page shows all Webflow components including Designer, Hosting, CMS, Ecommerce, and API.
Webflow Official Status Page
The official Webflow status page at status.webflow.com is maintained by Webflow and updated during incidents. It covers all major Webflow services:
Key insight: Webflow's Designer and Hosting run on separate infrastructure. A hosting outage affects your published site but leaves the Designer fully operational — and vice versa. Always check which specific component is affected.
Monitor your Webflow site independently
Better Stack monitors your published Webflow site every 30 seconds from multiple locations. Get alerted before your clients notice — even when Webflow's own status page is delayed.

The most common Webflow outage confusion: your Designer is working fine, but your site is down for visitors (or vice versa). These are entirely separate systems.
Webflow Designer (webflow.com)
- Browser app at webflow.com/design
- Used only by site builders and admins
- Runs on Webflow's product infrastructure
- Outage = can't edit or publish, but site may stay up
- Check: can you load the Designer canvas?
Webflow Hosting (your domain)
- CDN serving your published site to visitors
- Your custom domain or .webflow.io subdomain
- Runs on Webflow's hosting/CDN infrastructure
- Outage = visitors can't access your site
- Check: load your site in incognito or from mobile
How to Check Webflow Status (Step by Step)
Check status.webflow.com
The official status page. Expand individual components (Hosting, CMS, Designer) to see which service is affected — not just the top-level status.
Go to Webflow Status Page →Test your .webflow.io URL
Every Webflow site has a fallback .webflow.io URL (e.g., yoursite.webflow.io). If your custom domain fails but .webflow.io loads, the issue is DNS, not Webflow hosting.
Check Webflow's Twitter / X
Webflow posts major incident updates on @webflow. Search "webflow down" for real-time user reports that may precede the official status update.
Follow @webflow →Check the Webflow Community Forum
Webflow's forum (forum.webflow.com) is often the first place users report issues. Search for recent posts about your specific problem.
Open Webflow Forum →Run a cURL check on your domain
Test your site's HTTP response directly from terminal to rule out local network or browser issues.

Where is the official Webflow status page?
Webflow's official status page is at status.webflow.com. It shows real-time status for all Webflow components including the Designer, CMS, Hosting, Editor, Ecommerce, API, Memberships, and the Webflow.io CDN. You can subscribe to email or SMS incident updates directly from the status page. For independent third-party monitoring, use apistatuscheck.com.
Why is my Webflow site down but the Designer is working?
Webflow runs the Designer and hosted sites on separate infrastructure. A CDN or hosting outage can bring down published websites while the Designer (webflow.com/design) remains fully functional for editing. Check status.webflow.com and look specifically at the 'Hosting' and 'CDN' components — not just 'Designer'. Your visitors see the hosted site, not the Designer interface.
Why is my Webflow CMS not updating?
Webflow CMS update failures are usually caused by: (1) A CMS service incident — check status.webflow.com for the 'CMS' component, (2) Publish failures — go to Site Settings > Publishing to see error messages, (3) Webhook delivery failures if you use CMS automation, (4) Reaching CMS item limits on your plan, (5) Cache propagation delays on Webflow's CDN (changes can take 1-2 minutes to appear globally). Always try a manual Publish from the Designer before assuming a platform issue.
What is the difference between Webflow Designer down and Webflow hosting down?
Webflow Designer (webflow.com) is where you build your site — it's a browser-based app running on Webflow's product infrastructure. Webflow Hosting is the CDN and server infrastructure that serves your published site to visitors. These run independently. A Designer outage means you can't edit; a Hosting outage means your visitors can't access your site. Check status.webflow.com and expand each component to understand which service is affected.
Why is the Webflow Designer loading slowly?
Webflow Designer slowness is usually caused by: (1) A Designer-specific incident — check status.webflow.com, (2) Browser performance issues — try closing other tabs, clearing cache, or switching to Chrome, (3) Complex project size — large projects with many pages, interactions, and symbols slow the Designer, (4) Browser extensions interfering — try incognito mode, (5) Local internet/VPN issues. If the problem only affects you, it's likely local; if others report it too, check the status page.
