## Security built into every layer

### Volumetric shielding

Instant mitigation. Our network shield absorbs `L3/L4` attacks instantly, keeping your website fast and available without impacting your visitors.

[Automated SSL](../help/articles/do-i-have-to-setup-ssl-when-adding-a-custom-domain-to-a-framer-project/)

Zero configuration. We provision and renew certificates automatically via providers like Let’s Encrypt. No maintenance required.

[Enterprise compliance](https://app.eu.vanta.com/framer.com/trust/ow67ujg7iav0t6qtd1o6r2)

Ready out of the box. We are fully compliant with SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, GDPR, and CCPA regulations for total peace of mind.

### Modern encryption

Secure by default. Data is protected with `ECDSA P-256` keys, `AES-256` at rest, and `TLS 1.3` in transit.

[Password protection](../academy/lessons/password-protection)

Secure your site with a password and control who gets access. Share confidently with clients, partners, or anyone beyond your team.

### Smart rate limiting

Deflect abusive traffic. We use automated challenge pages to stop attacks at the edge. Plus, our built-in filtering logic keeps your forms spam-free.

## Advanced edge architecture

[Multi site rewrites](../help/articles/how-to-use-multi-site-with-rewrite-rules/)

Host multiple sites under the same domain and rewrite origins to unify apps like `/docs` and `/blog` without complex DNS setup.

### Capture groups

Use advanced pattern matching to capture dynamic URL segments like `/blog/:slug` and pass them directly to your origin.

[Smart redirects](https://app.eu.vanta.com/framer.com/trust/ow67ujg7iav0t6qtd1o6r2)

Keep existing URLs working through migrations, redirects, and site restructures without losing the paths people already know.

[Custom headers](../help/articles/how-to-use-custom-headers/)

Configure security settings like X-Frame-Options and custom HTTP headers through a strict allow-list for safer delivery.

### Unified sitemaps

Automatically merge XML sitemaps from external origins so search engines can index your distributed stack as one site.

[Canonical URLs](../help/articles/setting-up-a-custom-canonical-url-in-framer/)

Avoid duplicate content with multi-site rewrites by defining which URL search engines should treat as the primary version.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is SSL free?

Yes, on every plan. SSL encrypts traffic between your site and its visitors. We automatically provision and renew certificates using providers like Let’s Encrypt and ZeroSSL.

### Why is there no free trial for Advanced Hosting?

Since Advanced hosting requires provisioning specialized edge routing logic that consumes significant resources, we cannot offer a free trial. You can, however, test all standard hosting features on the free plan indefinitely.

### When do I need the “Advanced hosting” add-on?

You need this add-on if you want to use Framer as a “reverse proxy”. This allows you to host your main site on Framer while serving specific subdirectories (like /app) from an external server (e.g. Vercel) under a single domain.

### What counts as an “Origin”?

An “Origin” is any destination where your content lives. This can be another Framer project, an external server (like an AWS bucket), or a third party service. The Advanced hosting add-on lets you route traffic to multiple different Origins.

### Does Framer include anti-spam?

Yes. We protect forms with built-in filtering that blocks automated submissions. This stops spam instantly without impacting the user experience for real humans.

### How do I claim my free domain?

When you upgrade your site to any yearly plan, you can select a free custom domain (via our partner Hover) directly in your project settings. We handle the DNS setup for you.
