More than 170,000 sites across 120,000 customers rely on Webflow’s high-performing, customizable, enterprise-grade CMS. The developers of these sites can create and build using dynamic data while maintaining complete control over custom styling and layouts — all without databases or custom CSS.
The power and creative freedom of Webflow's Designer, combined with the flexibility of the CMS, has allowed visual developers to really bring their websites to life. However, as sites grow larger and the designers, developers, and marketers working with it add more content, performance can suffer.
But that’s all in the past. The future is faster — and it’s here today.
Effectively and efficiently scaling your site shouldn’t be an issue as you grow with Webflow. We want developers to feel empowered to constantly iterate, build, and grow more dynamic websites — especially the larger ones. So, we significantly upgraded the performance of the Webflow CMS.
We made foundational improvements to our CMS infrastructure that unlocks noticeable performance improvements for customers with larger websites and removes longer than expected load times.
