Setup 301 Redirects (URL Forwarding) Using CF DNS & Page Rules:

Setting up a 301 redirect at CloudFlare isn’t that self-explanatory…

And since nobody likes reading documentation I figured that a true hero needed to step up and make this easy on the rest of the world.

So here I am, the hero of the internet, come to make your life easier once again – with an article, video & SOP for you to save and use later.

1. Add Domain to CloudFlare

2. Update NameServers

3. Update CloudFlare DNS

Record #1:
– Type: A
– Name: @
– IPv4 Address: 192.0.2.1

Record #2
– Type: CNAME
– Name: www
– Target: @

4. Setup Page Rules for URL Forwarding

– Enter the URL pattern you want 301ing
– Click the dropdown and choose ‘URL Forwarding’
– Select your ‘Status Code’ from the drop down (probably 301)
– Enter the destination
– Click ‘Save and Deploy Page Rule’

You should be able to go to your forwarded domain, and be taken to the destination.

If it doesn’t work, make sure:

– You’ve given enough time for the nameservers to propagate (see step 2)

– Clear the CloudFlare cache (if you transferred your domain from another Cloudflare account)

– Clear your browser cache, or try in ‘incognito mode’ (press shift + command + n on most browsers (MAC) to open an incognito window)
