patreon.com blocks automated analysis, answering with Cloudflare interstitial instead of its homepage. Its certificate, DNS and registration records are still readable and are reported below.
This site blocks automated analysis.
It answered our request with Cloudflare interstitial rather than its
homepage, so nothing below is derived from its actual content — doing so would describe
the bot wall, not the site. The certificate and robots.txt data are still accurate,
because those are served to everyone.

Analysed domains sharing the same network (AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc.):
Sharing a network means sharing a host or CDN. It implies nothing about a
relationship between the sites themselves.
Other analysed domains served from the same country:
When was patreon.com registered?
patreon.com was registered on 27 February 2013, which makes it about 13 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 MarkMonitor Inc..
Registration runs until 27 February 2027.
The domain carries 3 registry locks, which blocks unauthorised transfer or deletion.
| Registered | 27 February 2013 |
|---|---|
| Expires | 27 February 2027 |
| Registrar | MarkMonitor Inc. |
| Registry status | client delete prohibited, client transfer prohibited, client update prohibited |
Where is patreon.com hosted?
The first address resolves to infrastructure in Toronto, Canada.
The network is operated by Cloudflare, Inc. (AS13335 Cloudflare, 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 patreon.com running on?
No platform, framework or analytics fingerprints were found in the homepage markup of patreon.com. That usually means hand-written HTML, an uncommon stack, or a page assembled entirely at the edge.
No recognisable platform, framework or analytics fingerprints were found in the homepage markup.
How does the homepage respond?
The server answered with HTTP 403 over
HTTPS.
At 96ms to first byte this response is fast for a homepage measured from a single European location.
At 5KB the HTML is unusually small, which typically means the page builds itself client-side after load.
The HTML is compressed with gzip.
| Server header | cloudflare |
|---|---|
| Compression | gzip |
| Page size | 5,576 bytes |
| Declared language | not declared |
| Mobile viewport | not declared |
What does the homepage say about itself?
The homepage has no title element at all, which leaves search engines to invent one from the page content.
There is no meta description, so the snippet shown in search results is assembled by the search engine from whatever text it considers relevant.
No H1 heading was found, so the page offers no single top-level statement of what it is.
No viewport meta tag is declared, so mobile browsers will render the page at desktop width and scale it down.
The html element declares no lang attribute, which removes a signal both screen readers and translation tools rely on.
| Title | — none — (0 chars) |
|---|---|
| Meta description | — none — (0 chars) |
| H1 | — none — (0 on the page) |
| Canonical | not set |
| Open Graph title | not set |
| Headings / images | 0 H2s, 0 images (0 without alt text) |
Is patreon.com served over a valid certificate?
The HTTPS certificate is issued by Google Trust Services and is
valid until 2026-12-10, which is 66 days from the date of this check. It covers
2 hostnames.
- patreon.com
- *.patreon.com
The certificate has 66 days left to run.
It covers 2 hostnames, so it was issued for this site specifically.
Which security headers does it set?
None of the 6 headers checked are set. That is the default state of most servers rather than evidence of a problem, but it means the browser is given no instructions it could otherwise act on.
| Header | Set | Value |
|---|

Frequently asked questions
Does patreon.com allow AI crawlers?
No — robots.txt blocks perplexitybot.
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 patreon.com and want this page removed.
