Changed to Cloudflare DNS and now my site msinevitable.com is unreachable

[simon.ta]

I followed the wizard and changed my nameservers to the Cloudflare ones and now my website msinevitable.com is unreachable. It has been 24 hours and the email says active. The error on site load says too many redirects (ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS).

There are no longer any DNS records in my namecheap account since I pointed them to Cloudflare. Not sure if it helps but my domain is in namecheap and used to point to my hostgator hosting.

Everything was working fine until I changed the DNS to the Cloudflare suggested ones last night.

These are the Cloudflare nameservers
|NS|nicole.ns.cloudflare.com|
|—|—|
|NS|watson.ns.cloudflare.com|

The error on site load says too many redirects (ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS).

The best way to fix is: Set your SSL to Full Strict. Here’s the more info:

Community Tip - Fixing ERR TOO MANY REDIRECTS

Error Try the suggestions in this Community Tip to help you fix ERR TOO MANY REDIRECTS. Background If your SSL setting on the SSL/TLS app is Flexible and if your origin server is configured to redirect HTTP requests to HTTPS, server responses back to Cloudflare are encrypted. Since Cloudflare is expecting HTTP traffic, it keeps resending the same request, resulting in a redirect loop. This causes browsers to display “The page isn’t redirecting properly” or “ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS” errors. [D…

I have set my SSL to Full Strict in my Cloudflare dashboard. I still cannot access msinevitable.com

How long does this setting take to apply?

Thanks

Having disabled both:
Always Use HTTPS
Automatic HTTPS Rewrites

My site is now loading! Are either of these 2 important to keep on or am I fine without them?

I see its loading correctly.

Always Use HTTPS

This would redirect all requests from “http” to “https”. It’s better to be enabled.

Ok I have re-enabled it and site still seems to be working.

I guess the issue must have been with automatic https rewrites?

issue must have been with automatic https rewrites

That shouldn’t be the issue with that too, yet you may check it.
