A reverse proxy is a service that sits in front of your website and allows you to route traffic to different sites. This is particularly useful if you have a Webflow site that is hosting your main marketing content and home page, but you also want to have a separate blog that is hosted on a subfolder, such as /blog.

Step 1: Sign up for Subfold

The first thing you will need to do is head over to subfold.io and click the Sign up button. Once you have signed up, you will be taken to the Subfold dashboard.

Step 2: Add your Main Site

In the Subfold dashboard, click the button labeled "Add a rewrite". We will be assuming that our main site is the Webflow site, so enter the URL of your Webflow site and click Create. This sets up something called a rewrite, which means that if you click the Preview button, you will be able to see that your site is already pointing to your Webflow site.

Step 3: Add a Subfolder

Now that we have set up our main site, we can add as many subfolders as we like. Click the "Add a rewrite" button again and this time set up a subfolder with the path /blog and the URL of a different Webflow site. This demonstrates that you can host multiple Webflow sites on the same domain.

Step 4: Preview and Publish

Preview the site again by clicking the Preview button and visiting /blog. This should take you to the different Webflow site that you set up as the subfolder. If everything looks good, click the Publish button to take you through instructions on hooking up your domain name to Subfold. Once this is done, your site will be live and you will be able to start getting traffic to both of these sites, boosting your SEO in the process.
