One site, many handlers
A domain on CloudForge is served by an ordered set of rules: this path from the page builder, that one from your files, another from your own application. Access is enforced on the server, never in a script.
What you manage
Decide where each path goes
A default handler - builder, static files or forward - and rules by path prefix. Each rule says who may see it: everyone, signed-in users, members of your site, or a group.
- Redirects (301 / 302) and proxies
- Members-only paths without code
- Proxy targets reviewed before they serve
- Reserved paths always stay the platform's
Drafts, versions, one Publish
Pages are edited as drafts. Publish snapshots the site as a version and makes it live; the previous version is one click away. Static deploys and ZIP uploads work the same way.
- Preview a draft with a 7-day link
- Roll back to any earlier version
- Export the whole site as a ZIP
- Daily backup to your own GitHub repository
Your domain, proven to reach us
Every site has a permanent platform address. Add your own domain, point it at the record we show you, and we check that it reaches the platform before it becomes primary. SSL follows on its own.
- A permanent platform address per site
- CNAME for www, A record for the apex
- A daily re-check tells you when DNS drifts
- Several domains per site
Themes, fonts and templates
Colours, fonts and a logo set the whole site. Twenty self-hosted font families - your pages never load a third-party CDN. Start from one of eight templates or add pages from any of them.
- Thirty-four blocks in the builder
- Twenty self-hosted fonts
- Eight starter templates
- Your own CSS when you want it
Website traffic, measured properly
Captured from the edge for every site - static, builder or your own app - and enriched by an optional first-party beacon. No cookies by default.
Sessions, pages, sources
Visitors, pageviews, landing and exit pages, channels (search, social, referral, direct), campaigns.
People, not bots
Verified crawlers, fake crawlers, data-centre traffic and probes are classified and kept out of your figures.
Where and on what
Country and city, device, browser, operating system, screen size, language.
Live view
Who is on the site right now, which pages, from where.
Addresses, your way
IP addresses stored, masked or hashed - your choice - with a retention period you set. POPIA in mind.
Events and vitals
Scroll depth, outbound clicks, downloads, form submissions, Web Vitals, and your own events.
