AITpro, i forgot to ask but should i apply your method for redirecting my www/non-wwww? would it fix my Sitemap.xml problem?

Here is the link to sign up for an invite to this service: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1lX5ixIANZtE23UXxHYORa-tm_HwW6c6wxDkW-0rUDSE/viewform

i got my invite about 1 week later.

Okay, i feel confident that i set it up properly. time to wait for it to propagate like you mentioned. Thanks for tagging along and helping me through this. I’ll update you on what happens, Thanks AITpro!

okay i setup up the origin and the ‘@’ is already setup it is basically “@” is a special record – it’s the same as just “domain.com” (in this case, cheaplolteams.com)

my hosting provider told me to switch my CNAME back to ‘cheaplolteams.com’ because that why im my www isn’t redirecting me. should i still apply your htaccess method?

this is what Google told me to do.

Dear Webmaster,

Thank you for your interest in PageSpeed Service.

We found that your site is already setup with CloudFlare. You can setup PSS on top of CloudFlare and receive benefits of both the CDN’s. To setup PSS on top of CloudFlare for ”www.cheaplolteams.com” please follow the below steps :

(1) Log into the CloudFlare DNS Manager and create the ‘cheaplolteams.com’ A record and point it to your Host IP address. Make sure that CloudFlare is disabled for this DNS record. (The record is disabled when the cloud is grey)

(2) CNAME https://www.cheaplolteams.com to ‘pagespeed.googlehosted.com’. If you would like to receive the benefits of both CloudFlare and PSS, make sure that CloudFlare is enabled for this DNS record. (The record is enabled when the cloud is orange) If you would like to only receive the benefits of PSS, you can disable CloudFlare for this DNS record.

We have also included a link to the PageSpeed Service setup instructions: https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/pss/setup#cname. Once you are done configuring changes, you can visit https://www.whatsmydns.net/#CNAME/www.cheaplolteams.com to check whether the DNS changes you have made during setup have propagated.

This possibly could be a problem with Google because since im sending my C NAME domain to Google’s server. Wouldn’t they have ultimate control over whether or not i have www redirecting the non-www in my url?

currently i have my my WWW CNAME set to Pagespeed servers by google.

wow what the heck, when i visit my website using the ‘www.’ it brings me to some random page i’ve never seen… https://www.cheaplolteams.com/

I think it could be a redirect problem.

this url works: https://cheaplolteams.com/sitemap.xml
but the one Google is attempting to connect to is: https://www.cheaplolteams.com/sitemap.xml

This problem recently came about and the only plugin i recently installed was BPS. hope you can help me out with this =(.

Thanks for this great response, This made me and soon to be a lot of other people feel more understanding with this subject in general.

One more question AITpro if you are still there, how can i block an ip from using my website? there is a plugin called WP-Ban, but can BPS do this as well?

Okay thanks AITpro!

Oh forgot to ask sorry, but do i have to recreate the .hta file every time i write to it?

Hi AITpro, i was wondering what this error means and how i can maybe fix it. i started receiving it after i setup BPS.

BackUpWordPress has detected a problem. wp-cron.php is returning a 403 Forbidden response which could mean cron jobs aren’t getting fired properly.
