Welcome to our Cloudflare Proxy onboarding guide. This step-by-step process will ensure your site is properly configured to use Cloudflare's proxy service, enhancing security and performance.
Important Note: Transitioning to the CF Workers Proxy Service
This guide applies to both new users and existing users transitioning from our old proxy:
- New Users:
- If your content site is currently using the root domain, you can directly follow the setup steps below without additional adjustments.
- Existing Users on the Old Proxy:
- If your content site is currently using a subdomain, you will need to migrate it to the root domain before proceeding.
- Adjust the DNS settings according to your platform (e.g., WordPress or your CDN).
