1. To get started, please set up a Cloudflare account.
Now you need to do what the next article indicates, but change the server names for the ones that your CloudFlare account has.
2. Then need to write your domain name (without www or HTTPS, only the domain.com)
3. After of press the "Add site" button, It is going to show your plan; it will be enough to select "Free plan" and then press the "Confirm plan" button.
4. And here, only you click on "Continue".
If you have some previous configuration, Cloudflare will automatically get the DNS configuration, and now all you need to do is to add the next DNS configuration. (The alias is "mydomain.ordering.co". Don't replace anything of that).
π΄ MANDATORY π΄ You'll have to add 2 CNAMES
FIRST CNAME
1st.- Add Record
2nd.-Type: CNAME
3rd.- Name: @ (root domain) (Literally write the @ symbol)
4th.- Target: Temporal Domain "mydomain.tryordering.com" ππ» Very Important. (Literally, write down the same text)
5th.- SAVE
SECOND CNAME
1.- Add record
2.- Type: CNAME
3.- Name: "www" (Literally, write down the same text)
4.- Target: Temporal Domain "mydomain.tryordering.com" ππ» Very Important. (Literally, write down the same text)
5.- Save
OPTIONAL - Sub Domain for the Dashboard
1st.- Add Record
2nd.-Type: CNAME
3rd.- Choose the pre-fix word for your subdomain, for example, admin, orders, helpdesk, support, our real example is app.ordering.co
4th.- Target: Temporal Domain "mydomain.tryordering.com" ππ» Very Important. (Literally, write down the same text)
5th.- SAVE
5. Go to the SSL/TLS section and be sure that the SSL is set to Full. (This section won't change until the DNS configuration is done and right)
A little "TRICK", when you get to this step, double click FULL or click any other option and get back to FULL because sometimes Cloudflare doesn't save the change properly.
Also, activate "Always Use HTTPS"; this configuration it's for maintaining your site secure. Come back to SSL/TLS, then "Edge Certificates" and enable it.
6. Now you need to go to the Caching section and be sure that the "Browser Cache TTL" is "Respect Existing Headers".
Make sure you are in "configuration", for this step.
7. Next is Page Rules configuration:
Click "Create Page Rule"; you'll have to create 2 of them.
FIRST RULE
8. ALMOST DONE! π
Once you have done all those steps, your site will be running on your site.
π¨ Make sure that the "Email Address Obfuscation" is "OFF".
After this, you'll have to go to your Builder and put in the custom domain, example www.ordering.co
