Cloudflare error This website uses HSTS | Fixed

If you have been coming across the following error for your Cloudflare-powered website, you can stop worrying.

“Your connection is not Private. This website uses HSTS”

Some of our customers tried to disable Cloudflare in an attempt to resolve this error. However, this resulted in a different error message stating that the connection is not private.

Fortunately, our experts have come up with a way to make sure you do not run into these error messages any longer.

According to our experts, the “ This website uses HSTS” error occurs because the HSTS enforced information in the browser’s cache has to be cleared.

We have to HSTS cache in both of the following scenarios:

• HSTS is enforced by the Web server.
• HSTS is not enforced by the Webserver.

We can easily delete the HSTS cache in the Chrome browser with these steps:

1. To begin with, we have to head to

   chrome://net-internals/#hsts
2. Then, we have to enter the domain name in the Query domain option and click Query button to get information from the cache.

   

3. Next, we can clear the cache of the domain by entering the Domain name in the Delete domain option and click Delete.
