Is there an issue with Webflow causing intermittent 504 Gateway Timeouts on custom domains after today's maintenance, as indicated by increased latency starting at 4:30pm UK time?

Webflow 504 Gateway Timeout issues can occur due to various reasons. Post-maintenance problems affecting custom domains can lead to such errors and increased latency reports.

​

1. Check Webflow Status

• Visit the Webflow Status page to see if there are any ongoing service disruptions or maintenance updates.
• Look for any announcements related to latency issues or 504 Gateway Timeouts.

​

2. Verify DNS Settings

• Ensure your DNS settings are correct, specifically the A records pointing to Webflow’s IP addresses (a) 75.2.70.75, (b) 99.83.190.102.
• Use a DNS check tool to confirm that your DNS records are propagating correctly.

​

3. Test Network Connection

• Check your local network connection for stability issues which might contribute to perceived latency.
• Use tools like Ping or Traceroute to diagnose if network delays are present between your location and the server.

​

4. Examine Site Configuration

• Review your project settings in Webflow for any custom code that might cause slow response times.
• Disable any newly-added custom integrations that could cause latency, and see if the issue resolves.

​

5. Monitor Traffic Load

• Check if there’s an unusual increase in traffic on your site that might be causing the 504 errors.
• Utilize Webflow’s hosting analytics to observe unusual access patterns that could burden the server.

​

6. Contact Webflow Support

• Reach out to Webflow Support if the problem persists despite checking the above aspects.
• Provide them with specific data about the time of the issues and any related network diagnostics.

​

Summary

504 Gateway Timeouts and increased latency on custom domains post-maintenance could arise from DNS misconfigurations, network issues, or excessive traffic. Verify all settings and reach out to Webflow Support if the issue continues.
