The short answer

Lovable's Custom domain docs: Needs attention means Lovable found a connection problem. The warning explains whether DNS records need correcting or the connection needs another check. A common cause is records from a previous host, which can send some or all visitors there instead of your app.

What to do

  1. Read the warning below the domain and follow it.
  2. At your DNS provider, compare the A, AAAA and CNAME records with the ones Lovable shows, and remove records from your previous host.
  3. Open the domain's three dots menu and select Check again. If the records look right, select Fix this in the warning to review the setup.

Good to know

  • DNS changes may take up to 72 hours to propagate, though most updates are live within a few hours.
  • If you have CAA records, they must allow Lovable to issue SSL certificates.
