How to redirect http to https using Cloudflare page rules
Why is it safe to redirect url http to https on both .htaccess and cloudflare?
Please have in mind that requests to domain.com and www.domain.com go to different places - the requests to the main domain go directly to your account while the requests to your www.domain.com go to Cloudflare:
Code:
www.domain.com. 1400 IN CNAME
www.domain.com.cdn.cloudflare.net.
On both .htaccess and on the Cloudflare's side there is a redirection for any request to be served through the secure https:// connection.
This means that even if by any chance a request goes to your domain.com without being redirected to www.domain.com it will still be served through the secure https:// connection.
Therefore it is the best practice to have both rules on your .htaccess and on your Cloudflare's account.
