Before adding to your Pages project, you'll need to transfer your DNS to Cloudflare.
I dont want to do this, since I already have a domain managed by Google. How can I simply use CNAME records?

Are you doing it on the root of the domain?
I'm using test.com, without www so yes?
Sorry its my first time dealing with this 😄
Aah I see now! Why is www required? Will my users be able to type in test.com and fetch the site?
Basically, the DNS spec does not allow CNAMEs at the root(test.com). Cloudflare can get around this with CNAME flattening(returning an IP address instead of a CNAME record).
So flattening I would need to switch my DNS to cloudflare?
Im sure even google would support it but so far my cloudflare experience has been amazing
Can you create an ANAME record in Google?
I see 'A' and 'AAAA', no ANAME
There's also an ALIAS
Hm...
Wait, Pages doesn't support that anyway...
If you are deploying to an apex domain (for example, example.com), then you will need to add your site as a Cloudflare zone and configure your nameservers.
Cloudflare doesnt support flattening if im using a different DNS manager?
If I move it to cloudflare it shoud be supported?
Yes, that is correct
Great, thankyou so much!
