Subdomain shows ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS error

When you open a subdomain on your site, the browser shows ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS or a message that the page "redirected you too many times."

Why this happens. The subdomain’s DNS record in Cloudflare has the proxy turned on (orange cloud), and the third-party service hosting that page also enforces HTTPS. Cloudflare and the external service keep bouncing the request back and forth.

How to fix it.

  1. Go to Cloudflare DNS.
  2. Find the record for that subdomain.
  3. Change Proxy status from Proxied to DNS only (grey cloud).

The record’s target address stays the same. The link should start working within a few minutes.

Browsers cache redirect loops for a while, so visitors who already saw the error may need to do a hard refresh or open a private window.
