Redirecting www to domain apex

Last updated Apr 21, 2026 Learn how to redirect a www subdomain to your apex domain (example.com).

This setup assumes that you already have a custom domain attached to your Pages project.

Setup

To redirect your www subdomain to your domain apex:

  1. In the Cloudflare dashboard, go to the Bulk Redirects page. Go to Bulk redirects ↗
  2. Create a bulk redirect list modeled after the following (but replacing the values as appropriate):
Source URL Target URL Status Parameters
www.example.com https://example.com 301 <ul><li>Preserve query string</li><li>Subpath matching</li><li>Preserve path suffix</li><li>Include subdomains</li></ul>
  1. Create a bulk redirect rule using the list you just created.
  2. Go to DNS.
  3. Create a DNS record for the www subdomain using the following values:
Type Name IPv4 address Proxy status
A www 192.0.2.1 Proxied

It may take a moment for this DNS change to propagate, but once complete, you can run the following command in your terminal.

curl --head -i https://www.example.com/

Then, inspect the output to verify that the location header and status code are being set as configured.
