X-Hcdn-Request-ID

Hostinger's CDN tags responses with the unofficial X-Hcdn-Request-ID response header, an opaque request identifier ending in the edge node that served the response. The header travels beside X-Hcdn-Cache-Status and X-Hcdn-Upstream-Rt on Hostinger-hosted sites.

Usage

The identifier locates a request in Hostinger's infrastructure logs, and the suffix doubles as a serving-location readout. Observed suffixes name a point of presence by airport-style code plus a numbered edge node, the same convention Cf-Ray and X-Served-By use for their location codes.

Values

The observed format is a 32-character lowercase hexadecimal string, a hyphen, a location code, and an edge node number:

<32 hex>-<pop>-edge<n>

Observed location codes include bos (Boston), fra (Frankfurt), phx (Phoenix), and imm, with edge numbers running from edge1 upward.

Example

A response served from a Frankfurt edge node. The hash identifies the request, and the suffix places the serving machine.
