A custom domain added to AffEasy
If you haven’t already, you’ll need to add your custom domain to your AffEasy workspace.
If you’re using a domain on Cloudflare for your AffEasy workspace, you might need to configure a few extra steps to ensure that your domain works properly.
We recommend using Cloudflare’s DNS only mode for your custom domain. This ensures that requests/clicks to your short links will always reach AffEasy directly instead of being served through Cloudflare – which can lead to inaccurate analytics data.
Configuring Cloudflare as DNS only is also better for redirect speeds, since you avoid having your users’ requests get proxied through Cloudflare, which adds additional latency.
To set this up, follow these steps:
This will ensure that the traffic to your domain is not proxied through Cloudflare and is sent directly to AffEasy.
Using Cloudflare’s Proxy can potentially cause inaccuracies in analytics data. This is because using a proxy will send all traffic through the proxy first, then to AffEasy. This will result in incorrect geolocation data being presented and the public IP address of your proxy being sent.
If you still want to use Cloudflare’s proxy for your custom domain, you’ll need to make sure that your SSL/TLS encryption mode is set to “Full” on Cloudflare.
Follow these steps:
To ensure the most accurate analytics and fastest redirect speeds, we recommend using Cloudflare’s DNS only mode instead of their proxy. This configuration allows AffEasy to function optimally with your Cloudflare-managed domain.
