WebSite Creation – Page 2

Connecting your site to Cloudflare will help boost its performance worldwide, not just where your hosting account providers set up their servers. A Cloudflare free account is an ideal way to start and will be an excellent option for a long time. I will show you how to connect your site to Cloudflare and do essential work inside the Cloudflare dashboard. *All my sites are currently connected to Cloudflare, and I use their service for everything I write. How to connect your site to Cloudflare CDN? First, set up a Cloudflare account. I typically use my Google account to connect to everything. Once you set up the account, log into your Cloudflare dashboard. Requirements: An active website with a hosting account, a domain, and an SSL certificate for your site. Step 1 - Verify your domain. Log into your dashboard: https://dash.cloudflare.com/ At the top navigation Menu, Click Add Site *Make sure to use the main domain, not a subdomain *If you are using a different source of CDN, then Cloudflare won't find the domain. *Write the name only without the https:// prefix. Now, Cloudflare will identify your site. Select the free plan. Step 2 – Reviewing your site's DNS record Review all of the sites recorded and presented by Cloudflare. If some are missing, such as subdomains or site email accounts, you must manually upload them. Step 3 – update nameservers It would be best if you changed the name of your website servers inside your host dashboard. Here is an example of where to find them in my Hostinger account. (you can find tutorials and information on your host) The name servers are for each account; you can use them on all your sites. *The Cloudflare nameservers will be shown here once you have finished steps 1-2 For example, oneappreview.com We wait until Cloudflare experts the nameservers and then continue to the next step. You will receive an email telling you that Your Cloudflare account is Set! Let's do some Basic Tasks inside Cloudflare. Cloudflare First Tasks to do Those simple steps will help improve your site Add a DNS record If your site will have new options such as mails or subdomains. You will need to add them manually.

Complete is for the SSL to be installed on the web host. It should be used without a problem. Full Strict – must be signed and installed on the webserver Or – you can go to the origin, set one, and install it on the host server. Fast Redirects! The faster it is to redirect the old domain to a new one or change redirects on your site, the better.
