After doing the basic steps of footprint and enumeration, I found out that the IP adress of the website is not in the IP range of the client and is owned by Akamai Technology. It means that if I'm going on with the furter steps of pentesting, I'll pentest Akamai and not the "real" website of the client.

It is possible that there is no "Real" IP address of the website.
Akamai has a service offering called netstorage. Some of their
customers upload the files to netstorage and they pull them from
netstorage when their edgeservers get a request.
They also have an offering called edgecomputing where the application
lives on their servers.
The fact that you were given "Akamai" does not automagically mean
there is an origin server.
