Cloudflare deploy checklist

Behind Cloudflare — cleared for launch?

Pages, Workers, and proxied origins need SSL mode verification, header rules, cache behavior, and a clearance scan on the public URL — not just the orange-cloud DNS check.

DNS & SSL

  • SSL/TLS mode Full (strict) with valid origin cert — no redirect loops.

    Audit check DNS-001 · dns ssl

Security & headers

Production deploys need baseline HTTP hardening before you share the URL.

  • HSTS and security headers via Transform Rules or Workers.

    Audit check SEC-001 · security

Performance

Core Web Vitals and load behavior under real traffic — not just localhost.

  • Core Web Vitals on proxied domain after cache warm — test production URL.

    Audit check PERF-001 · performance
