Many people here have asked for a way to disable ?i=1.  
Well, I will tell you here how to do it:

# How to disable ?i=1 Suffix without paying anything
First, enable CloudFlare through cPanel and Select the option Full SSL/Flexible SSL (\*\*NOT RECOMMENDED\*\*)/Full SSL Strict if you have your own certificate. It should be disabled in 2-24 hours! Also Admin, please update this article https://infinityfree.net/support/what-is-the-i-1-suffix/ and mention that with integrated CloudFlare, this gets automatically disabled. Hope I helped!

</div>

A logical explanation of why does that happen:  
First of all, when you enable CloudFlare a CNAME Record is added so that your domain points to:  
**`yourdomain.com.cdn.cloudflare.net`**

That is very important, because that new domain is not hosted on InfinityFree, so it doesn’t have the ?i=1 suffix, and because of your domain pointing to there, your main domain also doesn’t have it, it completely removes it **until you disable CloudFlare**.

When you disable it, or if you don’t use it at all (thanks to @UnknownLolz) the ?i=1 is back (😢). So, either you will have CloudFlare and you won’t have the ?i=1, or you will have to live with that annoying thing and the inavailability of your site through mobile apps.

You choose! Its up to you!

Note: @Rikhi55 this was the topic I was talking about.

Even if you don’t use Cloudlfare it’s still there.  
My website before I used Cloudflare, it has this suffix on the web browser even if I’m not using Cloudflare.

That’s **exactly** what I said!  
If you disable or not use at all CloudFlare, it is there but when you enable it, it disappears!

I use Cloudflare and it still has the suffix.  
All of my website is using Cloudflare and there is still a suffix and it won’t change.

Please give me some links to check, I have tried this and it was always successful!  
You can get this one [https://signaldatabase.cf/](https://signaldatabase.cf/), it is hosted on a MOFH hosting (mine!) and it doesn’t have the suffix.

And the only thing that I could remove this is to make a redirect.  
Example:  
when someone visits my website and my website loads with the suffix the redirect will redirect it with no suffix and it has worked for me.  
But I don’t use it cause I actually don’t care about the suffix.

Give me a link to check please, if you have CloudFlare AND theirs SSL the suffix cannot exist!  
Give me some of your links, I need to check please.

You **should** clear your cache!  
It has no suffix for me, I can even post a video where I visit the site in Incognito Mode to prove it!

Thanks!  
I can’t stop laughing for some reason! -Probably because I didn’t expect to say this to you:

Hey that’s rude for laughing at my Comment, JK.  
Yes I used Cloudflare directly tho, not the cpanel integration.

I wasn’t laughing at you or your comment, you misunderstood me :neutral:  
I could not believe that it worked without issues, I never had something with you.

Oops, I have misunderstood you.  
But it was actually okay if you have laughed if there is valid reason.  
Sorry though.
