# SSL Generating Indefinitely

78 views · 0 likes · 2 posts

Hello, 
This domain was set up a few weeks ago. Today I noticed the SSL continues to generate indefinitely.
The domain is working just fine, but I am not sure what is going on with the SSL generation.
I do not want to remove/add back the domain because it is my production deployment.
DNS and Cloudflare settings are correct per your docs. How should I proceed?

Hi, @mtmpro!

Thanks for reporting! That does not look right. Here are some things that you can try:

1. Even though you mentioned that DNS and Cloudflare settings are correct, it's worth double-checking:

- Ensure that your domain's **A record** points to `76.76.21.21`
- If using Cloudflare, make sure the **proxy status** is set to "DNS only" instead of "Proxied" 


2. Sometimes, **DNS changes can take time to propagate fully.** You can choose a tool like [https://www.whatsmydns.net/](https://www.whatsmydns.net/) to check if your DNS changes have propagated globally. 

3. **Vercel might be caching old DNS information:**

- Go to your project settings in the Vercel dashboard
- Find the "Domains" section
- Click on the three dots next to your domain and select "Refresh DNS"

4. **Make sure Vercel can verify your domain ownership:**

- In your Vercel project settings, under the "Domains" section, check if there's a verification status for your domain
- If it shows as unverified, follow the instructions to verify ownership (usually involves adding a TXT record to your DNS)

5. Make sure there are **no conflicting SSL certificates**.

- If you're using Cloudflare's SSL, temporarily disable it to see if that resolves the issue
- Check if you have any other SSL certificates installed on your domain through other services

Let us know how you get on! :pray:
