GH Pages endless "DNS Check in Progress"

[ShaneCurcuru]

I had a custom domain that worked over http:, even though it kept giving the DNS check messages on the repo's Pages page. I tried turning on enforce https:, but that never really worked since the Pages still had the message, and it broke the site.

I turned off Pages for over a week, and just turned it back on, after triple checking my DNS records. Same error.

Is this repo just borked on the GitHub internals side somehow? Or did I indeed mess up my DNS records? I'm hoping to not have to fork into a new repo name to get Pages working. I'm suspicious, because this happened once with another throwaway site: one repo got stuck on the DNS check, and would never correct itself. dig shows the domain has the correct A records.

I think this is just another post-Microsoft rough edge in a sea of rough edges that will likely never get fixed. I have several sites with valid HTTPS in Custom Domains that are stuck on DNS Check in Progress.

Does your server has a valid ssl certificate ?

[shellscape]

my dude GitHub issues the SSL certs. what are you talking about?

My page also has the "DNS Check in Progress" marker, however I can access it with https, what is using a valid, signed certificate.

i'm also experiencing this issue, with a domain purchased through google workstation and hosted by enom.com ..

Same issue. Endless checking. It's been working fine for the past few years, but in the last few weeks it's been acting up.
