What this WAF checker detects
- WAF/CDN identification via Server headers (Cloudflare, AWS CloudFront, Akamai, etc.)
- WAF-specific headers (X-WAF, X-Protected-By, CF-Ray, etc.)
- CDN and edge security provider identification
- Header-based WAF vendor detection
- Security headers that may indicate WAF presence
- Custom security headers
- Header configuration analysis
- This tool uses passive header analysis only
- Cannot detect WAF rules, rate limiting, or bot protection mechanisms
- Cannot test challenge pages or active protection features
- WAF presence detection depends on headers being exposed
Why WAF checking matters
Verifying your WAF configuration helps ensure your website is properly protected. This tool helps you:
- Verify WAF presence: Confirm WAF/CDN is detected and active
- Identify WAF provider: Determine which WAF or CDN service is protecting your site
- Check security headers: Review security headers that may indicate WAF protection
- Compliance validation: Verify WAF presence for compliance requirements
Use this WAF checker to verify WAF presence through passive header analysis. For detailed WAF configuration, rule testing, and active protection verification, use your WAF management console or professional security testing.
What to do with WAF check results
After checking your WAF protection, use the results to improve your security:
- Verify WAF presence: If WAF is detected, confirm it's properly configured in your WAF management console
- Check WAF configuration: Review WAF rules and settings in your WAF platform (Cloudflare, AWS WAF, etc.)
- Review security headers: Ensure security headers are properly configured
- If no WAF detected: Consider implementing a WAF solution if your site handles sensitive data
Note: This tool only detects WAF presence through headers. For detailed WAF rule configuration, rate limiting, bot protection, and active security testing, use your WAF management console or professional security assessments.
