Custom domain SSL certificate stuck on VALIDATING_OWNERSHIP for 3+ hours

My custom domain has been stuck on "Validating Ownership" for 3+ hours. Service is deployed and healthy on the railway.app subdomain. DNS is configured correctly (Cloudflare, DNS only, not proxied, no CAA records). Cloudflare Universal SSL is disabled, SSL mode set to Full.

Already tried: removing and re-adding the domain, removing the domain from a previous Vercel deployment.

Your domain pagepings.com now shows a valid SSL certificate with DNS fully propagated and ownership verified. The initial delay was likely due to DNS propagation time combined with Cloudflare's CNAME flattening at the apex domain, which can make validation take longer than usual since our system detects the CNAME target via HTTP probing rather than direct DNS lookup.

This issue is in reference to https://groomboost.com/, not pagepings.com

Your groomboost.com domain is missing the required TXT verification record. You need to add a TXT record with host _railway-verify and value railway-verify=cc1e97872afa304c8d2d1c3d72486438ce5749ca6737faa16719b52d3118414a in your Cloudflare DNS settings. The SSL certificate will not issue until this ownership verification record is in place.
