CDN Finder.Which CDN is really serving that site?

Enter any domain and see which CDN, or stack of CDNs, is delivering it, detected from DNS chains, response-header fingerprints and TLS certificates, with a shareable evidence report. Built on the detection data behind 200+ assessments a year, and the tool CDNFinder.com will point to.

    What it answers

    CDN Finder in four questions.

    Which CDN serves a domain

    One lookup returns the provider, or providers, actually delivering a site, with the confidence level and the evidence behind the call.

    Multi-CDN stacks, untangled

    Many estates split traffic: one network for static, another for dynamic, a third for video. CDN Finder maps which hostname rides which provider.

    The evidence trail

    Not just a verdict: every signal that fired, DNS chain, headers, certificate, so you can verify the detection yourself.

    Changes over time

    Re-run a domain after a migration or renewal and confirm traffic actually moved where the contract says it did.

    Under the hood

    How it works.

    The same signals our analysts use in paid assessments, automated.

    DETECTIONHow it works
    DNS & CNAME chain analysis · resolution path

    Follows the full resolution chain to the terminating edge hostname, the strongest single signal for most CDNs.

    Core
    Response-header fingerprints · server, via, cache headers

    Provider-specific headers and cache-status formats, matched against our signature library covering 25+ networks.

    Core
    TLS certificate fingerprints · issuer & SAN patterns

    Edge certificates leak the operator: issuer chains and SAN patterns confirm or overrule ambiguous DNS.

    Core
    IP & ASN mapping · network ranges

    Announced ranges and ASN ownership resolve the cases where everything else is masked.

    The report

    What you’ll get.

    THE OUTPUTInside the report
    Detected provider(s) with confidence

    Each provider found, scored by how many independent signals agree.

    Included
    Signal-by-signal evidence

    The raw DNS records, headers and certificate fields behind every detection.

    Included
    Hostname map

    Which provider serves www, static assets, APIs and media, the multi-CDN picture at a glance.

    Included
    Shareable link

    A stable URL for the report, ready for a procurement thread or an incident channel.

    Included
    Use cases

    Who it’s for.

    Procurement due diligence

    Verify what a prospective vendor, or your own incumbent, actually runs before you negotiate.

    Competitive research

    See which networks power the sites in your market, and how the leaders split their traffic.

    Migration verification

    Confirm cutovers actually completed: the fastest answer to “is traffic really on the new CDN?”

    Incident triage

    When a site misbehaves, knowing whose edge is in front is step one of the diagnosis.

    FAQ

    CDN Finder questions,
    answered straight.

    When does CDN Finder launch?

    It’s the flagship of the toolkit and the first release in build now, with a 2026 launch window. Join the early-access list from the tools page and we’ll notify you the day it ships.

    Will it be free?

    Yes, free to use with no signup required. It runs on the same detection data behind our paid assessments; the tool is how we prove the data is good.

    Can it detect multi-CDN setups?

    That’s a core design goal. Because it inspects hostnames independently, split estates, one provider for static, another for dynamic or video, show up as exactly that, not as a single confused answer.

    How accurate is the detection?

    Every verdict ships with its evidence: the DNS chain, headers and certificate fields that fired. Where providers mask signals, the report says so and scores confidence accordingly, no false certainty.

    What’s the relationship to CDNFinder.com?

    CDNFinder.com is our domain for this tool and will point at it when it ships.

    I need the answer today, what now?

    A free assessment gets you the same detection, human-graded, usually within 24 hours.
