How to fix ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS error

ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS is very common error when you apply CloudFlare SSL for the very first time on your website.

Some hosting providers accept CloudFlare's flexible SSL which is by default applied to new websites.

If you encounter ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS error then Here are the steps to replace Flexible SSL with FULL SSL in CloudFlare:

Step 1: Log in to CloudFlare

1. Visit CloudFlare: Go to CloudFlare website.

2. Log In: Enter your email and password to log into your CloudFlare account.

Step 2: Select Your Website

1. Dashboard: Once logged in, you'll be directed to your dashboard.

2. Select Site: Click on the website for which you want to change the SSL setting.

Step 3: Navigate to SSL/TLS Settings

1. SSL/TLS Tab: In the top menu, click on the "SSL/TLS" tab.

Step 4: Change SSL Mode

1. SSL Mode: Under the "Overview" sub-tab, you’ll see the current SSL mode (e.g., Off (not secure), Flexible).

2. Select Full: Click on the Full and you will see the notification

   Your SSL/TLS encryption mode is Full

Step 5: Confirm the Changes

1. Confirm: Ensure that the SSL mode has changed to Full.

2. Wait for Propagation: Allow some time for the changes to propagate. This can take a few minutes.

Additional Considerations

1. FULL SSL Overview:

   • FULL SSL: Encrypts traffic between your users, CloudFlare, and your server.

   • Security: Full SSL not only provides encryption to users, it also encrypt the connection from CloudFlare to your origin server. For security between CloudFlare and your server we always recommend you to reconsider using Full SSL.

2. Ensure Compatibility: Make sure your website functions correctly with Full SSL. Test accessing your website via https:// to verify that everything is working as expected.

Troubleshooting

• Mixed Content Errors: If you encounter mixed content errors, use the "Automatic HTTPS Rewrites" feature found in the SSL/TLS app under the "Edge Certificates" sub-tab. This helps rewrite URLs to HTTPS.

• Always Use HTTPS: Ensure the "Always Use HTTPS" setting is enabled to force all traffic over HTTPS.

By following these steps, you can successfully change your SSL mode from Flexible to Full in CloudFlare. and this is best way to solve ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS error
