🌐 Simple Reverse Proxy for Webflow Websites

Enhance performance, reduce load times, and improve compatibility for Webflow-built websites.

🚀 Purpose

This project provides a simple reverse proxy solution for websites built with Webflow. The primary goals are to:

• Boost performance and loading speed.
• Increase compatibility across different environments.
• Implement content compression to minimize data transfer size and further improve speed.

💡 Features

• 🗃️ Caching Static Content: Store and serve static assets to reduce server load and improve load times.
• 🗜️ Content Compression: Compress web content to reduce the size of data transferred.
• 🔄 Proxy Creation: Set up a reverse proxy in development or testing environments.

🔍 How it Work?

The following image provides a visual overview of how the reverse proxy script functions. It illustrates the key components and flow of the script, showing how it handles requests and serves content through the proxy.

⚙️ Installation

To set up the reverse proxy, follow these simple steps:

1. Download the index.php file:

   • Download the index.php file from the repository.

2. Upload index.php to Your Shared Host:

   • Use FTP or your hosting provider's file manager to upload the index.php file to the root directory of your shared host.

3. Configure the Target Domain:

   • Open the index.php file in any text editor.
   • Locate the following lines at the beginning of the file:

   <?php
   
   $target_ip = 'example.webflow.io';
   $target_port = '443';

   • Replace 'example.webflow.io' with your Webflow domain (e.g., yourwebsite.webflow.io).

4. Save the Changes:

   • Save the modified index.php file and re-upload it if necessary.

5. Access Your Proxy:

   • Open your browser and go to your shared host domain to see your Webflow website loaded through the reverse proxy.

That's it! Your reverse proxy is now set up and ready to use.
