Lovable Setup

We host lots of Lovable domains on DataJelly and the setup is very simple. Here are the basics:

Follow the Standard Setup instructions above.

Important: Remove the custom domain from Lovable

After you move your DNS to point at DataJelly, you must remove the custom domain from Lovable. On Lovable, you should only have the .lovable.app entry.

Do NOT add the custom domain back to Lovable

DataJelly now handles your custom domain. If you add the custom domain back to Lovable, you will break DataJelly routing.

Cloudflare Setup

If you are hosting your website on Cloudflare, there are 2 extra steps you need to complete:

Follow the basic setup instructions above.

Important: Disable the Cloudflare CDN Proxy

The orange CDN icon needs to be grey, which means DNS Only mode. Click the orange cloud icon to toggle it off.

After (DNS Only — correct)

Important: Review Cloudflare Workers

Ensure there are no extra Workers or Page Rules running that can affect routing. These can interfere with DataJelly's edge proxy.
