Last updated: January 12, 2026
Framer enables visual website building with code capabilities. This guide covers securing your Framer sites.
Step-by-Step Security Guide
1. Secure Code Overrides
Code overrides run client-side. Never include API keys or secrets in override code.
2. Use External APIs Securely
For API calls requiring secrets, use serverless functions. Framer code is visible to users.
3. Audit Third-Party Scripts
Review any scripts added via custom code embeds. They have access to your page.
4. Configure CMS Security
Review CMS collection visibility. Ensure sensitive content isn't exposed unintentionally.
5. Enable Form Spam Protection
Use Framer's built-in form features with spam protection, or integrate a secure form backend.
6. Verify HTTPS Configuration
Ensure SSL is properly configured for custom domains.
