So I am using the new CloudFlare.. I have a GoDaddy shared hosting account, which i know isn't the fastest in the world, but DNS seems very slow. I have a Wordpress blog configured as the following:
example.com/subdir (Location of Wordpress)
example.com (Actual Site)
This change was made using Wordpress Codex.
When I use pingdom, or just do it myself, There is a very long interchange from when i type in www.example.com to change to example.com or vice versa.
DNS on Cloudflare is setup as the following:
A example.com points to IP Address
A www points to IP Address
CNAME www points to example.com
Is there something wrong here? Pingdom says theres a huge wait time, and I notice it just typing in the site itself. Waits forever (before even loading a single thing.) Once the wait is over, then everything loads lighting fast.
www
(bothCNAME
andA
)?CNAME
record plusA
record on the same name is invalid.. they shouldn't be letting you configure it that way.www
for starters.
