What can I do to resolve the ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS message in Webflow when using Google Domains as my website's default domain?

TL;DR

The ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS error occurs when there are conflicting redirects between Webflow and Google Domains, often due to incorrect domain settings. Follow these steps to resolve the issue.

1. Clear Your Browser Cache and Test Incognito

  • Open an incognito window in your browser to check if the issue persists.
  • Clear your cache and cookies, then refresh the page. If the issue is resolved, the problem was likely stored redirect information.

2. Verify Your Webflow Domain Settings

  • Go to Project Settings → Publishing → Custom Domains.
  • Make sure only one domain is set as the "Default Domain". The recommended setup is to use the non-www domain (yourdomain.com) as the default.
  • If there are duplicate domains, remove any unnecessary ones and republish your site.

3. Check Google Domains DNS Records

  • Go to Google Domains → DNS.
  • Ensure your domain settings only have these two A records:
  • (a) 75.2.70.75
  • (b) 99.83.190.102
  • Ensure you have a single CNAME record pointing www to proxy.webflow.com.
  • Remove any old or conflicting A/CNAME records.

4. Remove External Redirects in Google Domains

  • Go to Google Domains → Website settings (or Redirects tab).
  • Delete any custom forwarding rules or redirects that might conflict with Webflow’s domain handling.

5. Double-Check Webflow HTTPS Settings

  • Go to Webflow Hosting Settings and make sure SSL is enabled.
  • If you recently changed the settings, turn SSL off and then back on to reset the configuration.

6. Wait for DNS Propagation and Test

  • DNS changes can take a few minutes to a few hours to fully update worldwide.
  • Use a DNS checker tool (like whatsmydns.net) to confirm the correct Webflow A records are being used globally.
  • If changes have propagated, try accessing your site in an incognito window.

Summary

To fix ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS, confirm that Webflow has the correct default domain, use only the required DNS records in Google Domains, remove extra redirects, and ensure Webflow SSL is enabled. Allow time for DNS propagation before testing again.
