What can I do to resolve the ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS message in Webflow when using Google Domains as my website's default domain?

TL;DR
  • Ensure your DNS settings in Google Domains have the correct A and CNAME records pointing to Webflow.
  • Set 'www' as the default domain and enable SSL in Webflow's hosting settings.
  • Check for redirect loops within Webflow and clear your browser's cache and cookies.

Encountering the ERRTOOMANY_REDIRECTS error on Webflow when using Google Domains as your default domain typically indicates a configuration issue with your DNS settings or SSL certificates. Here's how you can resolve it.

​

1. Check Your DNS Settings

  • Go to Google Domains and sign in to your account.
  • Navigate to the DNS settings for your domain.
  • Ensure you have the correct A records pointing to Webflow's IPs: (a) 75.2.70.75, (b) 99.83.190.102.
  • Make sure your CNAME record for 'www' points to proxy-ssl.webflow.com.

​

2. Verify Domain Connection in Webflow

  • Log into Webflow and open your project dashboard.
  • Click on Project Settings and then Hosting.
  • Ensure your default domain is set to the 'www' version of your domain.
  • Publish your project to the default domain to apply changes.

​

3. Ensure SSL is Enabled

  • Within Webflow's Hosting settings, make sure that SSL is turned on.
  • If it's already enabled, consider toggling it off, wait a few minutes, and then enable it again to refresh the settings.

​

4. Double-Check for Redirect Loops

  • Check any custom redirect rules you’ve set up in Webflow under the Settings -> Hosting -> Redirects section.
  • Make sure there are no conflicting or cyclic redirects that could cause a loop.

​

5. Clear Cache and Cookies

  • Clear your browser's cache and cookies to rule out any caching issues that may be causing the error.

​

Summary

Resolving the ERRTOOMANY_REDIRECTS in Webflow requires ensuring DNS settings are correct with Google Domains, setting the 'www' version as the default in Webflow, enabling SSL, checking for redirect loops, and clearing browser cache. Following these steps should help resolve the error effectively.
