Why am I getting a "too many redirects" error when using Google's DNS for hosting on Webflow, and what are the steps to resolve it?

TL;DR
  • Ensure DNS records include A records for 75.2.70.75 and 99.83.190.102, and a CNAME for www pointing to proxy-ssl.webflow.com.  
  • In Webflow, enable SSL, set either www or root domain as default, and remove any conflicting external redirects.

You're seeing a "too many redirects" error because your domain is likely not pointing correctly to Webflow's infrastructure, causing redirect loops—often due to improperly set DNS records or SSL settings.

​

1. Verify That DNS Records Are Correct

​

  • Go to your domain registrar where you've set up Google DNS.
  • Make sure your DNS records match Webflow's recommended setup:
  • A Records: Add two A records pointing to (a) 75.2.70.75 and (b) 99.83.190.102.
  • CNAME Record: For the www subdomain, create a CNAME that points to proxy-ssl.webflow.com.

​

2. Use Only One Domain Version (www or root)

​

  • In Webflow’s Hosting settings, scroll to the Custom Domains section.
  • Set either the www version or the root (non-www) as the default domain—Webflow will redirect all traffic to this version.
  • Mixing them improperly in DNS can cause redirect loops.

​

3. Ensure SSL Is Enabled in Webflow

​

  • In Webflow → Project Settings → Hosting, ensure SSL is turned on.
  • After enabling SSL, Webflow will expect HTTPS traffic. Be sure your domain's DNS supports this (i.e., proper CNAME pointing to Webflow’s SSL proxy domain).

​

4. Avoid Conflicting Redirects in External Services

​

  • If you're using Cloudflare, Google Domains URL forwarding, or other proxy layers, disable any external HTTPS redirects or URL forwards.
  • These can stack on top of Webflow’s native redirects, causing endless redirect loops.

​

5. Give DNS Changes Time to Propagate

​

  • After updating DNS records, wait up to 24 hours for changes to propagate globally.
  • You can use tools like dnschecker.org to confirm the correct records are live.

​

Summary

​

Too many redirects usually means your DNS or SSL settings conflict with Webflow's routing. Fix this by ensuring:

  • Correct A and CNAME records
  • SSL is enabled
  • One domain version is set as default
  • No external redirects conflict with Webflow

​

This will resolve the redirection loop and get your domain working properly with Webflow.
