Step 9: Custom domain

Now you'll serve the site on your own domain.

Before you start

Type each command on its own and wait for it to finish before the next one.

Add your domain to wrangler.jsonc:

jsonc

"routes": [
  { "pattern": "example.com", "custom_domain": true },
  { "pattern": "www.example.com", "custom_domain": true }
]

In site/.vitepress/config.ts, set your real URL:

const siteUrl = 'https://example.com';

Commit and push. Cloudflare deploys and sets up HTTPS.

bash

git commit -am "Custom domain"

Expected output

text

[main 5d6e7f8] Custom domain

bash

git push

Expected output

text

   main -> main

On Vercel instead: open your project → Settings → Domains, add example.com, and follow the DNS record it shows.

If you see an error: domain already in use means another Worker or DNS record owns it. Remove that record in Cloudflare DNS, then push again.

Your domain serves the site over HTTPS. Canonical links point to it.
