Troubleshooting

Symptom Cause Fix
503 from the edge all origins failing health checks check origin address, port, TLS/SNI and that the origin allows our edge IPs; look at the health-check path
certificate stays pending DNS not pointing at the edge, or CAA blocks the provider run the DNS check, fix CNAME/A/AAAA or CAA, request again
API clients or monitoring get the challenge page proof-of-work applies to them add an allow rule on their path or source IPs
apex domain cannot be onboarded CNAME at zone apex is invalid use A and AAAA records with the anycast addresses
legitimate users get 429 limits too tight for the application raise req_per_10s or add a per-path rule
WAF blocks a form or upload CRS false positive move the rule id to logonly_rules or lower the paranoia level
double slash after a redirect target ends with / and redirect_type is prefix remove the trailing slash
change not visible propagation wait 30 s; emergency actions are immediate
