Disable access to `my-site.pages.dev` after adding a custom domain

[user22770]

Hello,

We recently deployed a static site using Cloudflare Pages and have configured a custom domain, www.my-site.com.

Our goal is to disable access to the default URL my-site.pages.dev to prevent users from inadvertently landing on it. Despite searching, I have not been able to locate any settings that would allow me to do this. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

There is no way to disable the pages.dev subdomain. You can however set up a Bulk Redirect as mentioned in this post

Direct access to subdomain.pages.dev should not be possible

To prevent direct access to your domain.pages.dev and only allow access through your custom domain, you can set up bulk redirects. Follow the guide at Bulk Redirects, but replace www.example.com with your pages.dev subdomain in the setup process. This will prevent search engines from treating these as duplicate content.

If you haven’t already check out Prevent your pages.dev deployments showing in search results​​ in the Pages Documentation too.
