• The page loads without certificate errors
• Your Odoo instance appears when visiting the domain

Troubleshooting

DNS not resolving	Wait 1-48 hours for propagation. Clear browser cache.
SSL certificate error	Ensure Cloudflare proxy is OFF. Wait for Let's Encrypt to issue certificate (up to 10 minutes).
"Site not found" error	Verify domain is added in VedTech portal and DNS is correct.
