This will take some time to propagate through the DNS network, but should be effective within a few hours. In the meantime, you can take a look at the three Settings pages. There are many options for optimization, redirects, caching, security, and more. The important one is to go down to the SSL option and set it to Flexible SSL. Note that even though you can access your GitHub pages site over SSL, trying to do so with full SSL through CloudFlare will result in an “Unknown Site” error from GitHub. -<hr> - -_Update on 22 May, 2015:_ Since this article was published, CloudFlare has [updated their dashboard](https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/205075117-FAQ-New-CloudFlare-Dashboard).

In my case, it only took a few hours. Using one of their paid plans will result in immediate provision. You can check in on whether the certificate has been provisioned by trying to navigate to https://yoursite.com. You’ll likely get a domain mismatch SSL error as CloudFlare defaults to a different certificate until yours has been provisioned. Once you stop receiving the error, you’re good to go! |
