My domain isn't verifying or SSL isn't provisioning—how do I troubleshoot?

Before troubleshooting domain verification or SSL provisioning failures, wait for DNS changes to propagate. The answer says DNS changes can take up to 48 hours, and you should confirm the records are visible globally with a DNS lookup tool. Remove AAAA records if they exist on the same hostname as the A record, because the answer says IPv6 AAAA records there can block SSL. Remove old or conflicting A records and keep only one A record at the root domain pointing to Replit. If using Cloudflare, set the domain to DNS only because the orange-cloud proxy mode interferes with SSL provisioning. Disconnect and reconnect the domain in Publishing → Domains → Manage to force a fresh certificate, then wait a few minutes and reload. If CAA records exist, at least one must allow Let's Encrypt as an issuer, because Replit issues certificates through Let's Encrypt.

These checks apply only to externally registered domains; if you bought your domain through Replit, contact Replit Support. DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to propagate.
