Weebly sites - redirecting WWW to root

Website, Application, Performance DNS & Network

If you are redirecting www to the root domain, then

  • the root DNS record should be set to DNS only and point to Weebly’s IP address
  • set the www record to be a proxied AAAA record pointing to 100:: - these requests will never go to Weebly
  • set SSL/TLS to “Full (strict)” - isn’t really used as the only proxied request is the redirect, but just in case you change things later

Set up a redirect rule as here…

Once that’s working, you can try to proxy the Weebly record, but if you have problems, or get a 526 error later when their SSL certificate needs renewing, then switch back to “DNS only”.
