I'm Abir Mahbub, from Bangladesh, looking for a great video which can help me, but I don't find out. After all a friend advice me for you video, Now I'm very happy, your video is very helpful for me, May god bless you
Thank you, I’m happy it helped! 🙏
Your video is fire! Thank you so much, it made my blog super fast. A couple of questions though. If I connect to quic cdn as you show on the video will it optimize images regardless cause I’m already using ewww plugin for webp so I don’t need quic cdn to do that. Also, is the cdn for free for page caching or is there a monthly quota? It wasn’t clear on your video
Hey Alex, thanks for the comment! Inside the QUIC CDN settings (or inside the Litespeed plugin settings) you can disable the image optimization. I recommend only using one plugin for this, so you can either disable it on the ewww side, or disable it on the Litespeed / QUIC side.
There is a monthly quota for the Premium CDN plan. If you hit it, you will still have QUIC CDN for free, but it will get slightly slower (you'll be automatically moved to the free plan). You can check the exact numbers and how much of your quota you're using, inside your account on QUIC's website.
Hope this helps, good luck!
Another fantastic video to watch right after your video of making an amazing Wordpress website! Thanks again Andrei!
Glad you enjoyed them, thank you so much!
Just a quick question, I’ve tried the same process with my other website, but cloud flare won’t allow me to add CNAMEs. The error message states “Cannot add DNS records with the same name”. Do you have any suggestions for resolving this issue? Do I miss something?
Thanks in advance
I have the same problem, when I set up the a CNAME, i get the notice it wont allow me to have two, so i had to delete some A and AAAA roots, and the current CNAME. When i then only have the new CNAME to Qucik cloud, it says that it os not connected to the server. Can you please help @wpmaker ?
NICE
Hello! Awesome video! I´m starting in this world and I got a question, is this tutorial an alternative to plugins such as Smush (compress, image optimizer, lazy load...)? Is it perfectly compatible? Thanks very much. Greetings from Spain!!
I've somehow missed your comment, apologies.
In general, it's best practice to not use 2 plugins that do the same thing (2 plugins that do caching, 2 plugins that do image compression, etc). If you do use 2 such plugins, you can disable the same functionality in the other (for example, you can use 2 plugins that have caching and image compression, but go into the settings and disable caching in one and image optimizations in the other).
LiteSpeed does pretty much all of the things you need, so you're unlikely to need another plugin. It does caching, image optimization, CDN and more. And lazyload is now native to WordPress, so you don't even need a plugin for that.
In short, you should be good to go with just this tutorial. Don't add other optimization plugins on top unless you know exactly what you're doing and why. I hope this helps!
Thank you for the video. My status code when I look at Network in the inspector tools says 304. On your site is says 200? Is this something wrong?
i was getting an error when tried to create a new record cname
Is this part of the optimisation crucial?
Dear Andre, great tutorial. I already follow your tutorial. But I have problem with instagram shopping. The products can't link to our website. The error message is "Security error - There are problems with the security certificate for this site."
We appreciate your kind suggestions and solutions. Thankyou before.
Done! the site feels like its loading faster lol i'm not sure. The google page speed and gtmetrix figures haven't changed yet. I will update once he image optimization completes. I have over 5k image on the site
*Update*
The optimizations do work. Desktop speed of around 91 on google page speed from 40 and 37 for mobile from 13.
I did play around with a few other settings on lightspeed - minify css and js aswell as a few others and installed freesoul plugin that allows you to disable plugins on different pages that are not being used.
Im on Namehero plus cloud hosting and i think once i upgrade to the business cloud package my site will be super super fast!
Overal, great tutorial. Thanks it worked for me!
Wow, that's a bunch of images! :)
Note that you should still size your images properly (height & width) to keep them small in size. Under 400-500 kB is a good rule of thumb, ideally as small as possible. And make sure you don't have any badly coded plugins that slow your website down.
You can also make sure that your configuration works correctly like at 13:18 in the video.
Once you confirm that it works, for GTMetrix you should do 3 tests and use an average of the results. You can also use speedvitals.com/ttfb-test which is a great tool to test your site's speed from all over the world (under 200ms result is super good). Same thing, do 3 tests and take an average.
This is because the first "visit" (or test) doesn't really count - that visit is used by your server to create the cache for the page. Subsequent visits will be much faster (for all visitors in that specific region of the world).
I assume you're running an eCommerce site? What host are you using? Let us know how it goes! :)
On Cloudfare set up it is asking to do "Automatic HTTPS Rewrite" and "speed up page load times with Brotli compression" Should I declide both of these preferences or enable them? Great Video!
I do like to keep those 2 settings enabled, yes. But if you do all of the steps in this video, then they won’t matter that much because Litespeed handles them already. So in short they won’t make a big difference one way or another :)
Glad you liked the video!
Thank you for your wonderful video. I ran through and implemented it all. My mobile page speed is still low :(
Hey Matt, sorry to hear that. This can vary drastically from one site to another depending on your design, plugins used, etc. I'd try to optimize it further by testing out my speed with and without certain plugins one by one - to find the culprit and find a workaround. Sorry for the late reply, hope you've managed to improve your speed more in the meantime!
Hi Peter,
Thanks for this incredible video. In my case Memcached Extension and Redis Extension are disabled but in your case, it's the opposite. Does it matter? If yes then how can I make them enabled? Thanks in advance
They need to be supported by your web host to be enabled (I’m using Namehero here). You could get in touch with your host to see if they offer it.
It matters a lot especially if you have a highly dynamic site (for example eCommerce). For simpler websites, not as much.
@@wpmaker Thanks for your support
Quick question. If when i view my network and my server says: "Litespeed" instead of "cloudfare" , is that a problem/did I do something wrong? Again great video, my speed went up from a low 80's to mid 90's
Love to hear that!
Your server is supposed to say "Litespeed" by the time you're done with Step 3 (like it does for me at 13:26 in the video). It sounds like you're good to go :)
Great stuff. Why are you adding Cloudflare on top of QuickCDN. Is that not slowing things down?
Not at all. We’re only using Cloudflare as a DNS manager (we disable their orange cloud CDN setting/option), mostly for its CNAME flattening capabilities. Because most web hosts’ DNS managers (cPanel) can’t do CNAME flattening thus can’t correctly connect to QUIC Cloud :)
@@wpmaker thx, I’ll do this also 👍
Peter, I can't enable QuicCloud CDN. It gets enabled for some moment and reverts to original settings after some moments. I should say I'm stuck with "DNS Verification in Progress". Please help.
Hey, there might've been a temporary problem with QUIC's servers, or you might have a wrong setting (perhaps a typo) with your nameserver records. I would go through the video again and double-check that every namesever record setting is correct, hope you managed to fix it :)
Amazing video ♥️ thank you. I'll give it a shot. My websites currently takes up to 10 seconds to load😩. I'll try your method and give feedback 🙌
Hope it helps! :)
It can take up to 48 hours (usually no longer than 24 though) for your new nameservers to update. So giving it time might fix it, yes.
But make sure you’ve set the nameservers to the correct ones that Cloudflare gave you. Also make sure your DNS records have been copied over to Cloudflare, just like in our video at step 1. I would double-check these 2 things :)
@@wpmaker alright thank you!
Hello, can you please help me I have 3 errors , The IP address has changed, There has been a server misconfiguration and The site may have moved to a different server? Thank you Andrei!
What's the benefit of using Cloudflare and Quic seeing as they are both CDNs? Does one perform a different function to the other?
great question, also expecting an answer to that
Hello, I would like to ask a question, is the procedure you do in the first step with Cloudflare change hosting?
Hey Sokratis, no it does not change hosting. We are simply pointing our domain name to Cloudflare to be able to manage it there. This basically makes your domain name connect to your hosting, faster :)
@@wpmaker thank you very much, very nice and helpful video
i do all the step but now im getting an error in my site: Error 1000 DNS points to prohibited IP
Hi. Ever since I changed the servernames to those of cloudflare, my wordpress cockpit is incredibly slow and the page loads about 20 seconds. Nevertheless, I have done all the steps to the end and the site on any other device or incognito launches extremely fast. The problem is that it interferes heavily with my wordpress cockpit and takes me a very long time to refresh the page. I cleared the browsing history and all cookies and the problem is still the same ;/. What can be done about it? Thank you for your reply!
Hey, unfortunately this doesn't sound like it has anything to do with Cloudflare. The WordPress back-end is influenced by many plugins, so I would start my investigation by de-activating all of them and re-activating one by one while testing the speed each time to find the culprit. Cloudflare has the same effect on your whole website, so if your front-pages load fast (when you are not logged in), then it is impossible that Cloudflare is the direct culprit for only your Dashboard being slow (when logged in as an admin). I hope this helps you investigate, good luck!
After setting up the CDN, when you inspect your website's network headers, server is showing as litespeed. You had switched to cloudflare, right? How come it is not showing cloudflare there?
Cloudflare has 2 "modes" in their DNS records, as seen at around 11:04 in the video.
If you keep the "Proxied" option turned on (orange cloud icon), then you're using Cloudflare's CDN and the network headers would show Cloudflare as your server. But if you turn it off (gray cloud icon) like we do, then you're not using Cloudflare's CDN anymore - and your site's traffic simply gets passed on to QUIC Cloud.
That is what we want, since we're using QUIC Cloud's CDN instead. It would actually make your website slower if we kept the Cloudflare CDN on top.
I hope this makes sense! :)
Can someone help me 😢, after I followed the instructions on this video, I noticed my site is performing poor😢, I checked but still can’t find what’s wrong please
Hi,
First of all Thank you for the tutorial and Good luck for your channel. I need some help with image exclusion format in 'page optimisation - media exclusion'. Could you please comment on the format of the url or code or ..... I mean examples of writing it. Any help will be appreciated, Thank you.
Hey, thank you! The format should be normal links to the images each one on a new line, such as:
domain.com/image1.jpg
domain.com/image2.jpg
You could also write just the image name and this should also suffice:
image1.jpg
image2.jpg
Both of these formats should work. Make sure you go to Toolbox and Purge All cache before testing if the changes work. Hope this helps, good luck! :)
@@wpmaker Thank you it's working .........👍😊
Brother in my Lightspeed Cache in object setting Memcached Extension and Redis Extension both are Disabled and I'm not able to enable, kindly please tell how to enable it??
Hey, this depends on your web host. That's why I recommend Namehero. I'd try getting in touch with your web host and asking them if they can enable Memcached and/or Redis for you. You might also be able to do this yourself inside cPanel on some hosts.
Yes it seems working great but what about outlook configuration ? i m using hostinger server ,any tips ? , my outlook stops working well after cloudfare x quic cloud configuration ,pls make a tutorial ...thanks
Hey Philippe, what outlook configuration are you referring to? Is it a plugin? What stops working after the configuration?
@@wpmaker i m using pop (according to hostinger recommandation ) and after cloudfare instalation and quic cloud , i have a s message error(pls see later on) trying to Fix but it s impossible so i disable all and make a refresh and obtain new google authorization for third part use ,and my outlook works again without cloudfare and quic cloud ..,so im using without any CDN .(. Outlook Error 0x8004210a -“Outlook Keeps Timing Out ” i used Several Methods without sucess...)
Without looking at your setup directly I can't really be sure why Cloudflare breaks this connection when you move your domain to it. Perhaps there is a DNS record that you have on your old DNS host, but that is missing inside Cloudflare? I would cross-check those. I'm not sure what plugin / method you're using for this connection, and I don't use Hostinger myself either.
www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-connect-microsoft-outlook-to-wordpress/
Maybe this can help too. I hope you find the fix, I'm sorry that I can't help more. I'd also try getting in touch with Hostinger and explaining this to their support - they might be able to help since it sounds like they made the recommendation. Good luck!
Hey again Philippe,
I might've figured out your problem. Check this out: quic.cloud/docs/troubleshooting/domain-email-no-longer-working/
So you will need to go to your Cloudflare DNS configuration. Edit your current MX record from there (the one with the name yourdomain.com), and point it to mail.yoursite.com - save this.
Then if you have any other records with the name "mail", delete them (you probably have a CNAME record with this). Now create a new A record, for Name type in "mail", and for IPv4 put in the IP address of your hosting, and also disable the Cloudflare cloud (click it so that it turns gray, not orange). Save it.
Wait for 30-60 minutes, and try your SMTP configuration / Outlook connection again. I think this should fix it, I hope it helps! Good luck!
@@wpmaker Thank you so much for your time to answer to my problem with outlook ,i will give it a try following your (good) tips steps .For now i completely disabled cloud fare and quic,cloud and outlook comes alive again,so i m afraid to enable all again...i m afraid about delay to obtain messages passing through cloudfare and using quic cloud as cdn ...but i will do your steps.Thank you so much
My page speed rank was 95 and now become 81 :D
does the same settings work for e-commerce websites too?
Yes, they should work with WooCommerce no problem. Test your pages at the end just to make sure everything displays correctly :)
Do I need the premium version of lightspeed plugin to do this
There is no premium version of the Litespeed Cache plugin. Everything we use in this tutorial is free :)
Dear i have a question is this method will create problem with lower bandwidth later on?
No, it won’t create any bandwith problems :)
Hello Wp Maker, I followed the first steps on cloudflare, but i moved onto the next two steps before the namechage happened on the cloudflare servers. My website is now not working after proceeding with the last two steps. Do you have any advice or should i wait for the name change to register o the cloudflare servers
Is it possible that these steps don’t work with hostinger
Is the SSL need renew with money or is just free for even?
It’s 100% free with free renewal :)
Hi! I got mail from cloudflare that my site is added but in inspect in header not changed. It past about one hour. Something wrong?
Nothing wrong, wait a bit more and your headers will update. It can take up to 48 hours (but usually takes 1-6 hours) :)
should i switch off already made chaching etc settings in cloudflare for litespeed? if so whitch settings i need to change?
You just need to do the steps shown in the video. The Cloudflare caching settings won’t matter because we aren’t activating the Cloudflare proxy (we set the orange cloud proxy option to off in the DNS settings).
So just follow exactly like in the video :) hope this makes sense.
@@wpmaker thanks for reply
Hello Bruh! I really appreciate Your guidance throughout the video. But I have a small problem after changing the name of servers in my host panel. After that I cannot enter the site due to the communicate that the SSL certificate is no longer available and the conneciton is not secure anymore. Have You any ideas why is that? If possible could I attend for consultation with You? Kind regards, Jan
Hey Jan, you can set up your SSL certificate in both Cloudflare as well as Quic. If you follow the exact steps I do in the video, then you'll have your SSL correctly set up through Quic and you will not get any errors. Happy holidays! :)
@@wpmaker Thank You mate I will come back to tha topic today evenening and share the results in the comments, Happy holidays to You and your family aswell ! :)
the only problem i saw is i get a suggestion that is remove unused css while running a speed test....i dont knot know which of my puglins is causing this
Hi, Im at the step 11:25, Quic Cloud verification. I refreshed the page after 5 min and and I got "DNS verified" then I waited 30 more and refresh again and now its says "DNS verification failed". What to do? :O please help
Did you find a solution? :/
I don't know why but when I access QUIC cloud although I have a key the domain is not added to Quic.
Below the domain key I can see the following message: ⚠ Main domain not generated yet
Frankly speaking I am stuck and I do not know how to complete this step.
I would be very grateful if you can give some help, thanks in advance.
Hey Marco, I'm not sure what went wrong for you but I'd start over again with the steps and make sure you do every single one exactly as shown in the video. It's easy to miss something here or there, and there are multiple things that could generate that error - it might be that you need to wait a little longer, it might be that you're mixing your main domain and your www subdomain, etc.
Also, make sure that you allow up to 24-48 hours for the nameservers to update. In the video I show how to check for this at multiple points in the process. Keep at it and you'll figure it out, good luck!
CDN cannot verified due to cloudflare not allow to save 'CNAME' the code i copy from QUIC, please Answer
You need to make sure you don't have any existing A or CNAME records on your root domain inside Cloudflare, before adding the new CNAME from QUIC. Sorry for the late reply, hope you've managed to fix it in the meantime!
Sir I'm having errors in add quic cloud CNAME to my CloudFlare DNS
I need to know what error you're getting. To add a CNAME, you first need to delete any existing A or AAAA records that you have.
Hello. Thank you for making this video for us. Cloudflare gives me this error:An A, AAAA, or CNAME record with that host already exists. (Code: 81053). I looked at the documentation and I should delete all my A and AAA records. Is this it? How do I choose which records to delete? And what if I delete those records and my site stops working?
Hey Christina, you don't need to delete all A records, just the one you're trying to replace (the yoursite.com main one). Then it will allow you to add the CNAME replacement for it (like I do in the video).
To be 100% safe you can just back-up your current record in a text file before deleting it (just take a note of its name and target IP address). Then if anything goes wrong, you can simply add it back just like it was before :) other than that I recommend following everything I'm doing exactly like in the video, and it will work. Note how I deleted the A record before adding the CNAME one, which is why I didn't get the error you're getting.
Hope this helps, good luck!
Hi. Thank you for answering. Unfortunately, I did this and it didn’t work. I will try one more time.🇬🇷
@@wpmaker I loved this video. But i got same CODE error shows by Cloudflare. and its not happening as you do here as per video. I have to delete AAAA record. and after done that all. my DNS status and issued SSL certi by quick cloud. but now my WP not working and getting error code 520 :( need your quick help.
@@villaHoopoe same issue here
@@villaHoopoe Am also facing the same issue here
After completing the set up, my domain is directed to a different website. Kindly advice
Hey, unfortunately can't be sure since I can't take a look directly. It could be an SSL certificate problem. I would try starting over with the steps from scratch and making sure that you do every setting like in the video. Make sure you have the gray cloud setting in Cloudflare, just like in the video - so that you use the SSL certificate from QUIC. Of course, also double check that your Cloudflare DNS records are set up correctly (pointing to the correct IP address). Good luck!
@WP Maker, I think setting up an IP address is where I got it wrong
This setting won't break the website? I am using hostinger
Personally I use Namehero, but Hostinger uses Litespeed too so it should work the same. It won't break the website, worst case scenario make sure you have a backup of your DNS records and revert back to your original ones if you want to revert the changes :)
After i made all steps , the following note in seo review appears, URL Resolve
Warning, no 302 are in place to redirect traffic to your preferred domain. Pages that load successfully both with and without www. are treated as duplicate content!
I made all things that made www redirect to non www , but the issue from the ssl itself, please help me what should i do , i just want to return my ssl certificate as previous
Hey, it's hard to tell exactly what is the problem since I don't know your full setup. However, most likely the problem is with your QUIC Cloud configuration. You should force HTTPS there. This should help, check it out: www.quic.cloud/docs/cdn/configuring-http-access/
Make sure to force https, and to have a CNAME DNS record from "www" pointing to "yoursite.com." You could also get in touch with your hosting provider and they might be able to help ensure all your traffic is non-www only. But the above should fix it. Good luck!
Can you do that for a full ecommerce website? With whatsapp buttons, moving parts, sliders, slide cart, etcc..
Every plugin would need to be tested one by one, and optimized carefully. Badly coded plugins can ruin your speed, and unfortunately there's no one-size-fits-all solution for that. However, these optimizations should be good for every website - it's just that you should be careful which new plugins you add, and test your speed with and without them :)
after following this - i cannot retrieve email for teh two sites i moved name server to cloudlflare - they give this error in gmail : Connection Error. Mail from this account has not been retrieved since 6:19 am. View details
Any ideas? Thanks
This is a problem with your MX records. Make sure you add your previous e-mail related records (that you had on your previous DNS host before Cloudflare), and make sure to port them over to Cloudflare the same way you had them. You can Google "MX records" if you want to understand why they are important for e-mail. Hope this helps!
Do I have to wait for each step to be fully completed?
You only have to wait whenever you change your nameservers. I mention in the video every time where you need to wait and/or check that a certain setting has been applied :) good luck!
Alright, thank you sir. I'll keep you posted. I literally set up my blog from your last video and it was really helpful. I can't even thank you enough. Before this I was less than a newbie 😅
Glad it helped! Thank you for the comment :)
Doesn't it make trouble, using 2 CDNs? (quic cdn and cloudflare cdn at once)??
We aren't using 2 CDNs, because the Cloudflare CDN functionality becomes disabled when we switch off the orange cloud option (at around 11:03 in the video).
So we essentially disable all Cloudflare CDN functionality, and from then on we only use Cloudflare for its CNAME Flattening capabilities to correctly point over to QUIC. Then our only CDN remains QUIC.cloud, which is much faster and better integrated with all Litespeed hosts.
I hope this makes sense! Good luck :)
@@wpmaker great thx
@@wpmaker I don’t understand, then I shouldn’t creat a Cloudflare account since I won’t benefit from it right? Also could you make a video about the rest of cdn settings.. they’re confusing me
@@hannoo7858 You still need Cloudflare to be able to point your domain correctly to QUIC cloud. So you need the Cloudflare account.
The full settings are not that easy to understand if you're not a programmer. If you want to study and understand how it all works, you can read the LiteSpeed Cache documentation (just Google it). But the default settings are great already so you don't need to worry about it - the plugin is meant to work best with out of the box settings.
In this video we keep it super simple and we get very close to max performance already - so I would simply recommend following the video step by step.
I hope this makes sense, good luck!
Hi there, awesome video! Just one question, should I move my webpage to a litespeedserver? Because I'm currently on a CentOS with apache server using whm. I have currently like 50 websites that work kinda ok with wp rocket, but when you log in it goes turtle mode, really slow backend... So should I make a new server with openlitespeedserver or just install the litespeed plugin and follow your tutorial?
Regards
Hi There, it increased my Speed on the desktop but for Mobile, my LCP score is 28, this is killing my website traffic as per google search console.. kindly guide me as my site is not ranking due to LCP on mobile being poor.
Hey, can you provide the domain so I can look it up and try to help?
Search Console might take a while to update after you've made improvements to your speed. If your website feels fast enough on mobile in the real world, I wouldn't worry too much about it. There are hugely popular websites out there that get bad scores in "official" tools and yet they get great rankings in Google.
But if your website is also slow when you visit it, then you will need to make some improvements. You can play with the other Litespeed Cache settings to experiment, but it's also a matter of everything else that you actually have on your pages.
Try removing plugins / widgets from your content and learn what makes it slow. Then try to get rid of that or perhaps replace those elements with an alternative. Also make sure you have a fast theme (like Astra), and of course make sure you have a fast web host :) good luck!
What if my domain was not on namehero but godaddy? How would that work?
Hey Fabian, you would simply go into your Godaddy account (instead of Namehero) at the part where you need to change your nameservers (during Step 1). I mention it there during the video :)
It will still work just as good, it doesn’t matter where you got your domain from.
What does matter is your web host, which should be a Litespeed host (such as Namehero) for steps 2 and 3 to work and provide the massive speed boost. Step 1 will work regardless of your web host and will still provide a significant speed boost on its own.
Hope this helps, good luck!
please help me im getting an error code that says (Code: 81053) how can i fix this thx
Hey Michael, you most likely have both an A record as well as a CNAME record under your domains in Cloudflare. You’d have to remove one or the other. I’d recommend following the steps in the video closely and it will work :) good luck!
Hi I changed my current name servers to cloudfare. My site is hosted in hostpapa and my domain is with go daddy. i updated the godaddy with recommended cloudfare but my website is just gone missing. can you please advise if i have done anything wrong.
Hey Mat, when changing your nameservers to Cloudflare did you follow the process exactly like in the video? If you did then Cloudflare should've automatically got your DNS records from your previous nameservers, so this shouldn't be happening normally.
Either way, the problem will be a missing or wrong IP address for your "yoursite.com" DNS record inside Cloudflare. The IP should be the same one that you had on your previous nameserver provider (which you didn't mention whether you used your Godaddy nameservers or Hostpapa nameservers - although I assume Hostpapa).
Try this. Inside Cloudflare, click your domain name and on the left-side menu go to DNS. For the A record "yoursite.com" you need to input your Hostpapa IP. Here's how you can find your Hostpapa IP: hostpapasupport.com/servers-ip-address/ - note that this edit inside Cloudflare will take up to an hour or so to finish, so give it some time if it doesn't work right away.
Alternatively, you can revert back the Cloudflare change to your old nameservers (probably ns1.hostpapa.com and ns2.hostpapa.com - or whichever nameservers you had before the Cloudflare move) - and everything will return back to normal. Note that nameserver changes take longer to propagate, up to 24-48 hours.
I hope this helps, let me know how it goes! I'll be glad to help if you bump into any other issues.
@@wpmaker Hi Thanks for the reply. really appreciate. I checked the DNS side menu and it is the host papa nameserver against my site name.
My domain is with go daddy and and i host my site with hostpapa under shared hosting. i have edited the nameservers in go daddy as specified. do yu think anything else might have gone wrong. thanks matt
Hey again Mat, there are 2 possible problems, either 1 - your GoDaddy namesevers (NS1 and NS2) are pointed to the wrong Cloudflare nameservers, or 2 - your DNS records (inside the DNS side menu in Cloudflare) are wrong. My guess is your issue is #2.
You should check these DNS records inside Cloudflare. You should have an "A" record (the one that says yourdomain.com). It should point to your Hostpapa IP address (I've given you a link for how to find the correct IP for this, in my previous reply). It shouldn't point to any nameserver here - it should be your Hostpapa IP inside the "Content" column.
Unfortunately I can't help more than this since I'm not able to take a look at your setup directly. But if you can't figure it out, reach out to Hostpapa support and they should be able to help you and perhaps even set it up for you themselves :)
