Delivery reference

Who actually serves the internet

The CDN, security edge and application platforms DNSTrace.dev can identify, and the public evidence behind each detection.

Why these pages exist

When a lookup reports a delivery platform, it is reporting an observed layer, not the whole story. A CDN, a security proxy, an application host and the network that announces the address are separate things, and one company can occupy several of those layers at once. These pages record what each platform is, which public signals identify it, and where the evidence stops.

How detection works

Every identification comes from public evidence: proprietary response headers, CNAME targets, published address ranges and the autonomous system announcing the route. DNSTrace.dev keeps the DNS operator, the reverse proxy, the application platform and the network owner as separate layers, and reports an origin as unknown when a proxy conceals it. The full policy is described in the evidence model.

The layer above

A delivery platform answers the request. The content management system, framework or runtime that produced the response is a separate question, documented in the application stack reference.
