How does Web Reveal detect Fastly?

Web Reveal identifies Fastly by inspecting a combination of signals: JavaScript global variables and library fingerprints loaded in the page, distinctive patterns in HTML markup and meta tags, HTTP response headers such as X-Powered-By and Server, asset file paths and CDN URLs, and cookie names set by the technology. This multi-signal approach minimizes false positives and ensures accurate results even when sites obscure their stack.
