Help please. Transferred site over from GoDaddy and now it won't work and takes ages to load!

As Ironic as it is I transferred mintmycar dot org to Cloudflare in order to speed up load times. It is now worse and takes minutes to load instead of the multiple seconds when the domain was hosted at GoDaddy!
I would like to upload screenshot of DNS settings from my account. What’s wrong with it? Please help.

For the last A record and the last CNAME record, click edit to open the UI to all you to proxy those two records, changing them from :grey: (bypass) to :orange: (proxied)

They were Proxied. But it still won’t work. Please help.

Is this what you mean?

If you disable RocketLoader, does that improve loading?

It’s not about speed ATM. It’s misconfigured DNS or wrong propagation. It has been like this since the moment I transferred the domain to Cloudfare.

Also Cloudfare cacheing is paused as of now.

All of these DNS records in your screenshot are not proxied. The odds that there is an issue related to Cloudflare here approach zero. The delay in response appears to be from your origin server. Cloudflare isn’t hosting your origin, you need to remediate your issue(s) there.

They were proxied. I turned them off, as well as Cloudflare caching. It is paused.
IT was the same when they were proxied - I’ve said that above.
GoDaddy says the transfer of the domain to Cloudflare wasn’t done properly but the NS servers are propagating correctly (to Cloudflare’s).

PROXY TURNED ON NOW. AS IT WAS IN DEFAULT.

WOW THIS IS JUST PATHETIC. How can a huge company like Cloudflare have ZERO support? Pay to talk to someone?? - this was a test run and they failed miserably. Had I known this was the case I would have NEVER transferred my domain to Cloudflare from Godaddy.

It’s disabled.

But that was what it was about in your original post was it not?

Can you provide an example? The basic tests I have done indicate no problem with DNS resolution.

No idea what they mean, if they believe it was done “improperly” ask them for technical details. Whois looks just fine. Whois Lookup Captcha

:man_shrugging: you transferred to an ‘at cost’ registrar. When they make 0$ on every transaction how much support did you expect? With that, the zero support you received from Cloudflare appears superior to the made up response with zero detail from GoDaddy.

If you want support from anyone, paid or otherwise specifics and examples to demonstrate the issue are required. I see no evidence of a DNS propagation issue or problem with the Whois registration.

When the site records were :grey: the DNS requests were returning the IP of the origin server. Assuming you have the correct values the origin server performance has nothing to do with Cloudflare as Cloudflare is not your web host.
