CNAME not responding

What is the name of the domain?

What is the issue you’re encountering

CNAME not working

What feature, service or problem is this related to?

DNS records

If it is a CNAME for email use or needs to be validated by a host, make sure it is set to “DNS only” and not “Proxied”.

What is the CNAME record you are creating?

I set it to “DNS Only,” but I’m still having the same problem. I just uploaded a new page, and this issue started happening after that.

What is the record you are creating? Can you show a screenshot of your Cloudflare DNS records?

If you are pointing to a Pages site, then make sure you add the custom domain to your Pages configuration which will create the DNS record for you, don’t create the DNS record yourself.

Note that a CNAME created for the apex will not return a CNAME when queried, only A/AAAA records (and records created by Pages will be proxied so not return CNAMEs anyway).
