Error 525: SSL handshake failed

Hi
I see redirect loop

Please read this and use FLEX :


  1. If you configure your WordPress site to use secure connections, then WordPress will redirect people if it detects an insecure connection. Cloudflare by default uses Flexible SSL, which means the connection between you and Cloudflare is encrypted, but the connection between Cloudflare and your website is not. WordPress detects this insecure connection and will try to redirect the visitor to the secure URL. Even if the visitor is already using a secure connection on the other side of Cloudflare.

To fix this, you could try the following:

  1. Change the WordPress Site URL to NOT use https: https://wordpress.org/support/article/changing-the-site-url/#changing-the-url-directly-in-the-database
  2. Login to the Cloudflare website, find your domain, go to the Crypto tab and enable “Automatic HTTPS Rewrites” and “Always Use HTTPS”.
  3. Try to open your website in private browsing mode. This will help to circumvent any bad redirects cached by your browser.

unless the problem is some additional plugin
