And on the sqarespace side.

Oh, awesome, if you already set your Squarespace domain up to use Cloudflare nameservers then you just need too wait for Cloudflare to finish processing ownership

In the meantime, you'd want to set your www target to @ on Cloudflare
if you want your website to work on www as well then you can create another CNAME record with the target of www which points to your domain

Let me look where I do this, "In the meantime, you'd want to set your www target to @ on Cloudflare"

How does does Cloudflare typically take?


2 years ago

after that, you'd also want to go and verify that your SSL/TLS mode is set to Full

where is that?


2 years ago

I don't think it takes that long, but I can't really remember


2 years ago

you should see a list of options on the left
in that list there's a tab for SSL/TLS, just click on that

Okay found it.

is this like a 24hr hour thing?

Fantastic, now we just wait for Cloudflare!
After Cloudflare is done processing, everything should already be set up, although if you get stuck then feel free to open a new help thread

I don't think it always takes that long, but I can't really say how long it'll take
