Since you have a custom domain, you can remove the ?i=1 part from your domain by using Cloudflare: > [@A Full Guide To Cloudflare](https://forum.infinityfree.com/t/a-full-guide-to-cloudflare/44451): > > Hello, I will show you how to easily set up Cloudflare, Edit Records, and Troubleshoot with images! PLEASE READ BEFORE STARTING!!! Cloudflare cannot be used on free subdomains from InfinityFree. You can use Cloudflare on Custom Domains ([yoursite.com](http://yoursite.com)) and with Custom Sub-Domains ([subdomain.yoursite.com](http://subdomain.yoursite.com)). A video tutorial can be found at the end of this guide, should you get stuck. You must connect your domain to your InfinityFree account first.
