What is drift.com about?

The words appearing most often on the homepage, excluding common filler, are
a rough indication of subject matter rather than a description of the business:

  • revenue ×14
  • chat ×13
  • agents ×11
  • sales ×10
  • buyer ×7
  • salesloft ×6
  • conversational ×6
  • signal ×4
  • buyers ×4
  • data ×4

Does drift.com publish the usual trust pages?

None of about, contact, privacy or terms could be found at their usual addresses.
That is common for small or single-purpose sites, and it is also what a disposable
site looks like, so it is worth noting rather than concluding from.

These were checked at conventional paths only, so a site using different URLs may
publish them elsewhere.

When was drift.com registered?

drift.com was registered on 15 April 1995, which makes it about 31 years old.

A registration this old means the domain has been renewed repeatedly, which costs money every year and is not something abandoned or disposable projects tend to do.

The registrar of record is SafeNames Ltd..

Registration runs until 16 April 2028.

The domain carries 3 registry locks, which blocks unauthorised transfer or deletion.

Registered 15 April 1995
Expires 16 April 2028

Registry status client delete prohibited, client transfer prohibited, client update prohibited

Where is drift.com hosted?

The first address resolves to infrastructure in Montreal, Canada.

The network is operated by Fastly, Inc. (AS54113 Fastly, Inc.).

Hosting location describes where the responding server sits, not where the business is. A CDN will report its nearest edge rather than the origin.

What is drift.com running on?

drift.com exposes 2 identifiable technologies: Next.js, Cloudflare.

The build output indicates a server-rendered JavaScript framework, which means the HTML served to crawlers is generated ahead of time rather than assembled in the browser.

Cloudflare sits in front of the origin, so the server header, IP addresses and response timing describe the edge rather than the machine actually running the site.

  • Next.js
  • Cloudflare

How does the homepage respond?

The server answered with HTTP 200 over
HTTPS.

At 968ms to first byte this response is slow for a homepage measured from a single European location.

The HTML weighs 156KB, which is ordinary for a homepage.

The HTML is compressed with gzip.

Server header cloudflare

Page size 159,880 bytes

What does the homepage say about itself?

The title is 27 characters, inside the range that displays without truncation.

Is drift.com served over a valid certificate?

The HTTPS certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt and is
valid until 2026-12-03, which is 59 days from the date of this check. It covers
1 hostname.

  • drift.com

The certificate has 59 days left to run.

It covers 1 hostname, so it was issued for this site specifically.

Let's Encrypt certificates are free and run on 90-day terms, so this site is almost certainly renewing automatically.

Which security headers does it set?

2 of 6 are set (HSTS, Content Security Policy). Absent: X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy.

Header Set Value

How is DNS configured for drift.com?

IP addresses 151.101.66.137
Reverse DNS 151.101.66.137

TXT records 28

drift.com resolves to a single address, so there is no DNS-level redundancy.

Mail is handled by 5 exchangers.

An SPF record is published, giving receiving servers a rule for which hosts may send as this domain.

Reverse DNS resolves to 151.101.66.137, which usually names the hosting provider.

Who runs DNS and mail for drift.com?

DNS is operated by Amazon Route 53 rather than self-hosted name servers.

Mail is handled by Google Workspace.

No AAAA records are published, so the site is reachable over IPv4 only.

Can drift.com be spoofed in email?

DMARC is set to reject, the strictest setting: mail that fails authentication is refused outright. This is the configuration that actually stops domain spoofing.

No CAA records are published, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for this domain.

The zone is not DNSSEC-signed. That is still the norm for most domains, but it means DNS answers cannot be cryptographically verified.

What does robots.txt allow?

No robots.txt was served. Crawlers treat a missing file as permission to crawl
everything, so this is an open crawl policy by default rather than a blocked one.

What structured data does the homepage publish?

No JSON-LD or microdata was found on the homepage.

What does drift.com load from third parties?

The homepage pulls resources from 7 third-party hosts (abrtp2-cdn.marketo.com, googletagmanager.com, images.contentstack.io, launcher.1mind.com, rtp-static.marketo.com, salesloft.com). Each one sees the visitor IP and user agent on every page load.

No cookies are set on first load.

The page links or refers to X/Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube.

Does drift.com settle on one address?

Plain HTTP redirects to HTTPS, so visitors who type the bare address still land on the secure version.

Both drift.com and www.drift.com answer with 200 and neither redirects to the other. Search engines therefore see two complete copies of the site, and link equity is split between them unless a canonical tag resolves it.

How easily can drift.com be crawled?

No readable sitemap was found, so crawlers have to discover every page by following links.

A deliberately invalid URL correctly returns HTTP 404, so missing pages will not be indexed.

What tracking does drift.com run?

No analytics or advertising trackers were detected on the homepage of drift.com, which is unusual for a commercial site.

How does drift.com look when shared?

4 of 5 social preview tags are set. Missing: og:type.

How are images, fonts and scripts handled?

28 images on the homepage, 25 of them lazy-loaded (89%).

Modern image formats are in use (45 WebP/AVIF references).

The page pulls 6 external stylesheets and 25 external scripts, with 25 carrying defer or async.

Responses carry Cloudflare edge headers, so content is served from a CDN rather than straight from the origin.

Is drift.com accessible and current?

The page uses 8 landmark elements and 83 ARIA attributes.

No skip-to-content link was found, which keyboard users rely on to bypass navigation.

Can search engines index drift.com?

Nothing on the homepage prevents indexing: no noindex is set in the robots meta tag or the X-Robots-Tag header.

The canonical points to a different host (https://www.salesloft.com/platform/chat-agents), which tells search engines the authoritative copy lives elsewhere.

The homepage carries 82 internal and 19 external links across 16 outside hosts.

Visible text is only 4.1% of the HTML, which indicates the page is assembled in the browser rather than served as content.

How is drift.com delivered?

The HTML is served with Cache-Control: max-age=0, s-max-age=60, stale-while-revalidate=30.

A web app manifest is declared, so the site is installable as a progressive web app.

Frequently asked questions

Does drift.com set the usual HTTP security headers?

It sets 2 of 6. The ones not present are: X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy.

Does drift.com allow AI crawlers?

No robots.txt is served, so nothing is disallowed and AI crawlers are free to read the site.

What is drift.com built with?

The homepage exposes these fingerprints: Next.js, Cloudflare. A site behind a CDN or rendered server-side may use more than it reveals.

Where does this data come from?

Every figure was measured by our own server on 5 October 2026: DNS lookups, one HTTPS request to the homepage, a TLS handshake and a request for robots.txt. No third-party SEO API is involved.

Is any of this traffic or authority data?

No. Traffic, authority and ranking figures cannot be measured by inspecting a domain, only modelled. Everything here is a direct observation.

I own drift.com and want this page removed.

Ask through the contact page on this site, from an address at the domain, and the report will be taken down. It only ever shows what the domain already serves publicly.
