What is the issue you’re encountering

I have bought a DNS name from Cloudflare today and trying to link to a Google site i am building. I was able to link the google site to custom domain using 2 DNS records as recommended however my website is not loading when i do not specify www in the beginning. i was reading older posts but i am not sure if i need to create a redirect rule or create a new DNS record for root.

What feature, service or problem is this related to?

I don’t know

Adding more details about the DNS records. i have 2 DNS records at this moment

Do i need to add one more for root ?

Add an A, AAAA, or CNAME record for your root domain so that karine-music-lessons.com will resolve.

CNAME @ ghs.googlehosted.com DNS only 1 hr

Redirect the domain to www on Cloudflare by using a Redirect Rule here…

Press the template button to help create the rule. Creating the rule should prompt you to create a DNS record for the domain (@), use a proxied AAAA record pointing to 100::

I don’t see a template button there but i believe you are referring to this rule
