DNS error on reload but website seems to work

Hello, Lately i have upgraded my pro plan and setup my domain successfully. To maintain security on website, I changed GoDaddy's default nameservers to Cloudflare's, These are the DNS records on www.tonskins.com - enter image description here

Unfortunately, After some time has passed, I kept receiving this error when reloading website: enter image description here

Even though at least 18 hours have passed since Cloudflare setup. My question - Is everything correct? Perhaps pythonanywhere can't detect Cloudflare's CNAME records? Or is it me doing something incorrectly? Also note that CNAME tonskins.com being pointed to www.tonskins.com was DNS record to enable url forwarding (To deal with naked domains).

It does look like that DNS configuration hasn't worked: https://www.whatsmydns.net/#CNAME/www.tonskins.com

maybe check that you really have changed the nameserves, and then check the cloudflare config is definitely active?

Hello Harry, Thanks for the response, Perhaps this is caused by private domain registration? Because nameservers seem to work properly and other sites which also have private domain registration can't be detected by whatsmydns as well.

You're entirely right, the error message is caused by our system not being able to confirm that your DNS is correctly set up because CloudFlare is hiding stuff. So long as your site is working, you can ignore the message.

Hi! I am getting the same error as described above. You said to ignore the message, but how do I reload my app if I am getting the error ?

You just reload the web app. The message does not stop it from reloading.
