I used Astro framework to deploy example.com to cloudflare pages. How do I add the www subdomain
I can access example.com through the browser but www.example.com does not work. I tried adding a CNAME.txt file to the root of the Astro project directory containing the following lines:
;; CNAME Records
example.com. 1 IN CNAME example.pages.dev.
blog.example.com. 1 IN CNAME example.com.
www.example.com. 1 IN CNAME example.com.
In cloudflare I have the following setup:
"www.example.com is an alias of example.com and has its traffic proxied through Cloudflare."

You need to add www as a Custom Domain in your Pages project Settings (like you added the root domain) for it to work
