Site is working on my side but is down on speed tests and uptimerobot
Hey, my site is working perfectly on my end (both on desktop and mobile), but when I run a Cloudflare speed test, it fails. It's also down on uptimerobot (https://stats.uptimerobot.com/7eg2tZKYZE)
I'm so confused
I can send you the link to it in DMs if needed.

i cant open the site perosnally
maybe its just cached for you
You can't open which site?
Can you screenshot it?
Oh alright then, so I didn't manage to reroute it lol
Any idea how to?
I thought this would work
you can't do CNAME on apex, it's against DNS Spec.
Some providers will automatically flatten it/support flattening it, and some won't. That also would only work if your apex was added in CF Pages as well, which isn't possible unless you're using CF DNS
Oh damn, didn't know that.. Do you know of a workaround way to fix it in my case?
Why not just use CF DNS? It's going to be faster then namecheap and you get all of Cloudflare's features/etc, completely free as well
I'm not sure how to set the whole thing up, I've bought the domain on namecheap and hosted the site with CF pages but apart from that I'm a bit confused
How to use CF DNS? You just add your website in the Cloudflare dashboard under Websites -> Add Site, and change the nameservers at Namecheap: https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/zone-setups/full-setup/setup/

Cloudflare Docs
Change your nameservers (Full setup) · Cloudflare DNS docs
If you want to use Cloudflare as your primary DNS provider and manage your DNS records on Cloudflare, your domain should be using a full setup.
What's the difference between doing it this way (adding CF's nameservers etc.) and doing CF's automatic "Custom domains" process?
I tried the first way without success, dead end, so I tried the second way and it worked
Now I just need to know how to redirect ------.com to www.------.com
That's basically the only issue I have
