You set-up the redirect & changed the DNS entries but it isn't working yet! Here are some troubleshooting tips.
Did the DNS fully propogate?
You changed the DNS with your DNS/domain provider, and retried the DNS checker in redirect.pizza and it went green! You checked it right away in your browser, but non buono yet.
It's important to give the DNS change some time to propogate. You can:
- See how far along it is with something like whatsmydns.net
- Ping the domain on your own machine (ping example.com). Here some more info.
DNS is changed but it's still not redirecting!
Sometimes browsers cache the old result of the domain quite long. It's best to check the redirect domain via the following other ways:
- Try it in another browser
- Try it in an incognito window
- Try it via the command line
- Check it via our tester: https://redirect.pizza/tester
Still not working via any of the options above? Give it some extra time before it's working on your browser as well. Want to make sure? Add a random query string behind you source to force-check it locally.
For instance, if your redirect is example.com, try it with "https://example.com?v=2"
Still not working?
