Redirecting example.com to www.example.com when using Cloudflare workers sites

[langoj]

We are hosting a static site on Cloudflare workers and have HSTS enabled. However, I can not get example.com to redirect to www.example.com using page rules following the Cloudflare tutorial here:

Redirect example.com to www.example.com

This tutorial covers redirecting example.com to www.example.com when using Cloudflare, to do the opposite, please see Redirect www.example.com to example.com. You should replace all instances of example.com in the screenshots with your domain. Step 1, The DNS Record: The first thing you will need is a DNS record for @, set to . This can point to any IP address as the redirection page rule will execute first. I would recommend pointing it to 192.0.2.1, a dummy IP. [image] Step 2, Th…

A. Workers Routes

On workers we have the following routes pointing to our worker:

*example.com/*
example.com/
example.com/*

B. Domain DNS

On the domain DNS there are two A records proxied through Cloudflare.

The first A record points example.com to 192.2.0.1
The second A record points www to 192.2.0.1

Note I can not change the first record from example.com to @, simply as the Cloudflare DNS interface is changes @ to example.com when I save the record.

C. Page Rules

We have two rules, one for www redirect and one for caching everything.

The first rule:

https://example.com/* forwarding URL 302 temporary redirect to https://www.example.com/$1

The second rule: https://www.example.com/*, cache everything.

The @ symbol is in this case equal to your root domain. For the routes pointing to the worker, you could remove example.com/ and example.com/*, as you want them to redirect to www. This should make the page rules for example.com work, too.

Thanks for the feedback Tom, but that didn’t work. https is still not being redirected to https://www.

Per your suggestion, we have set up one worker route at *example.com/*

Then here are our two page rules, with the forwarding URL 301 redirect and the cache everything setting:

Our DNS A records for both @ and www proxied through cloudflare.

As far as HTTPS, we have

Always Use HTTPS (on)
HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) (on - max age 6 months)

I’m kind of at a loss here.

Try changing your worker route to *.example.com/
That way there’s a dot in front that it needs to match, for www., and sub., etc. But won’t match example.com because that doesn’t start with a dot.

Thanks! that fixed it.
