Webflow SSL Hosting

I would move from cloudflare to webflow’s own SSL solution in a heartbeat, aslong as it’s priced reasonably.

Is SSL on top of the hosting in the product roadmap?

Here’s another vote for it. Important for rankings.

Hi all,

We’re working on a SSL solution for all users that host with us - stay tuned!!

Cool news, @brryant. Has any of this been impacted by the AWS Cert Manager announcement?

Thought their announcement is cool, it does not enable a way to programmatically add domain names to the SSL cert:

We’re cooking up something that will enable us to add SSL scalably for all of our custom domains.

That’s excellent news. I know a ton of us are excited about the upcoming SSL capabilities for custom domains with Webflow. Many of our clients could be lawyers, doctors, and other professionals. How might SSL impact our ability to enable these folks to capture sensitive data?

Hi @mbrannon47 they are already protected if they are using Webflow Forms as all form submissions are done through SSL.

We are planing on launching a site on webflow in the next week or so, but we need ssl to be compliant. Should we go the cloud flare route for now, or can you give us some kind of timeline as to when you think this feature will be ready?

Would love to know if it’s going to be another week or sometime in 2016 with no definitive release date.

Thank you!

I’d go ahead with CloudFlare for now as it’s something you can set up in < 1 hour :smile:

+1 on SSL.

You should make it default for a custom domain, though. Don’t make people pay for it extra, it’s not a good story for you to have vulnerable users on your solution.
Are you working to integrate with https://letsencrypt.org/ ?

We’re really eager to get SSL setup, without having to manually export the site and upload it to an s3 bucket.

Is it possible to setup an Amazon CloudFront distribution to source from the Webflow distribution? (I tried, and got close, it works for static assets, but there’s some missing secret sauce for serving the actual pages.)

I was tearing my hair out trying to come up with some kind of workaround for getting https with my CMS webflow site I designed for the Agency I work at https://www.thomasarts.com I found a workaround for anyone interested. I’ll post a tutorial soon, its actually very simple.

If you need TRUE https and your webflow site uses any CMS features you don’t have many options.

I tried about 50 different things and finally found a solution to the problem :smile:

My first successful attempt was to use kimonolabs to create an api to copy the html for the sections I needed to be dynamic, which actually worked pretty well and could be updated without having to re-publish.

What I ended up doing is using an app called Site Sucker: SiteSucker for macOS

You have to get the settings right, and do a few little things here and there but it is working great so far.
Amazing what you can do with webflow and a little js knowledge.

Can’t wait until Webflow supports SSL!!!

Hi @brryant it’s been over a month since your last update… Could you share any news?

We really love webflow, I am so sorry for webflow, because of the missing possibility to simply upload a SSL Cert, there will be no CMS Hosting and no further integration from webflow in our workflows … :tired_face:

+1 on SSL. Keen to hear a timeline for this.
