Hi, my naked root does not work, only www.

I purchased a domain with Cloudfare and am trying to link it to a Google Sites page for hosting. After a bit of troubleshooting, I was able to get my website (https://www.jadekafieh.com/) to work. However, jadekafieh.com does not. I have tried to create a bulk re-direct having referenced this reddit post (https://community.cloudflare.com/t/cant-get-plain-domain-name-to-work-with-google-sites-hosting/574673), but to no avail. Does anyone know how to enable a naked root to work with Google x Cloudshare ? Thanks in advance !

What dns record do you have for jadekafieh.com? Looks like it's unproxied. should have something like AAAA jadekafieh.com 100:: Proxied (or just any other proxied record on there) Currently, the traffic isn't going to Cloudflare so your redirect has no chance of being hit

Nothing proxied, I was experiencing an issue when my site when proxy status was set to on. Something about Google Sites not supporting Cloudfare proxy ?

oh yea Google Sites gets upset when trying to proxy stuff to it. But you're just going to be using it as a redirect (traffic won't even hit google sites), you can enable proxy for jadekafieh.com
