Missing headers in browsers but Cloudflare is shown to be active on speedtest

Hello there, I just finished setting up Cloudflare. I am running into a very weird situation where all Cloudflare related headers are missing on any browsers i tried with: (Safari, Firefox, Chrome).
However, on various speedtest sites, ex:(https://gtmetrix.com/reports/livvly.com/j1H7dPGk),and cache checker: (https://cf-cache-status.net/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flivvly.com)
it’s shown my site is active.

Has anyone encountered this ever?

Hi @user5333,

Looks like everything is okay with your domain.

I can confirm that Cloudflare HTTP Headers (like Cf-Cache-Status, Expect-Ct, Server, Cf-Ray, Set-Cookie) are being correctly placed.

How long have you added your site to Cloudflare?

You may not be getting the expected results due to DNS propagation. If this is the case, just wait a while.

I added the site to Cloudflare about 5 hours ago. I can see the cache is working but it’s strange how all browsers are not showing the headers, but the speedtests are.

Is there anything else I need to do?

This is because DNS propagation is in progress. It has no relation to the browsers themselves.


As you can see from the screenshot below, there are places where propagation has not yet occurred:

You can check it at DNS Checker - DNS Check Propagation Tool


The good news is that you don’t have to do anything but wait for the change to spread around the world. :slight_smile:
