What changed

Before

Cloudflare Pages needed a CNAME, Wix remained the DNS provider, and an apex domain cannot be configured as a CNAME. Root-domain visitors would otherwise reach nothing.

Bridge

We kept DNS at Wix, routed the apex through a dedicated redirect service, and made the www hostname on Cloudflare Pages the canonical destination.

After

The live site gained a stable HTTPS path with IPv6 and HTTP/3 support, without moving the domain. The extra redirect hop was documented as a deliberate tradeoff, not an accidental compromise.

Zero-cost apex resolution

  • 301 root-to-www canonical routing
  • Cloudflare Pages delivery with automatic SSL
  • No domain transfer or added hosting bill
