How to redirect www to non-www using Cloudflare Page-Rules

The “www” prefix often feels redundant and cluttered, especially for blogs where using the root domain looks much sleeker. Here is how to use Cloudflare’s Page Rules to redirect your “www” subdomain to the non-www version (e.g., redirecting https://www.kd05.com to https://kd05.com).

First, ensure that both the “www” and non-www records are configured in Cloudflare’s DNS and that the “Proxied” (Orange Cloud) status is enabled for both.
