Did ERR TOO MANY REDIRECTS appear on your screen or did you just add Cloudflare for your domain? Cloudflare can be an advantage to your website in many ways. Cloudflare helps to speed up your website performance & adds security for your website. Cloudflare is basically a CDN ( Content delivery network ) that stays in the middle, between your domain & web host. You can learn about Cloudflare from their website<\/a> pretty much. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today in this article, I am going to guide you on how you can fix a website redirect loop after enabling Cloudflare for your domain. In simple language, this is how the error looks like “The page isn\u2019t redirecting properly” or “ERR TOO MANY REDIRECTS” errors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understanding Cloudflare Err Too Many Redirects loop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The figure below will show how your Cloudflare dashboard looks like when your domain is activated at Cloudflare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When your domain is activated at Cloudflare. Cloudflare adds SSL for your domain. Cloudflare has a Flexible SSL that can cause redirect loops depending on certain configurations in the origin server. SSL refers to ( Secure Sockets Layer ) which basically is an extra security layer for your domain. To make this simple we say, with flexible SSL, all traffic between the web browser and Cloudflare is encrypted over HTTPS ( HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure ) which replace HTTP<\/strong> ( HyperText Transfer Protocol ) for your domain as a result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, we understand you didn’t get to see this change because you got redirect loop after enabling Cloudflare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s go to the fixing method now. There is a simple matter to fix and solve the redirection loop after enabling Cloudflare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cloudflare recommends Flexible SSL only when encrypted traffic cannot be supported at the origin web server because it lacks an SSL certificate. By enabling Flexible SSL, you are telling Cloudflare to send all requests between Cloudflare and the origin web host over HTTP<\/strong> ( not encrypted ). Since this can be confusion between the Cloudflare & your host. To solve this confusion between host & Cloudflare do kindly follow the steps below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
