Wix

Wix.com Ltd. · Managed website platform. How DNSTrace.dev identifies it from public evidence.

Updated Sep 2026

What Wix is

Wix is a fully hosted website builder. Sites are edited in Wix's own editor and served from Wix's infrastructure, so there is no customer server behind the platform. A custom domain is either registered through Wix or pointed at it through DNS.

How DNSTrace.dev detects it

Detection correlates independent public signals. A single match is reported as strong evidence; agreement between a response header and the announcing network is reported as confirmed.

  • x-wix-request-id — Per-request identifier issued by the Wix serving layer.
  • x-wix-cache-control — Wix's own cache directive, separate from the standard cache-control header.
  • static.wixstatic.com in markup — The asset host that Wix pages load images and media from.
  • CNAME and A targets published by Wix for custom domains — The documented connection method for a domain registered elsewhere.

What a detection proves

The site is built and hosted on Wix, and Wix served this response.

What it does not prove

Which Wix plan, template or apps the site uses, or who owns it. Wix also fronts its own delivery, so no separate CDN is implied.

Common questions

Is a Wix site's origin server discoverable?

There is no separate origin to discover. Wix is the host, so the platform and the origin are the same thing.

Why do some Wix sites show only markup evidence?

Response headers vary across Wix's serving paths. When headers are absent, the wixstatic.com asset host in the markup remains a reliable signal.
