I've had a problem with Heroku when need a custom domain. SSL is immediately removed, unless paid dyno (hobby 7 USD/mo fixed). That's why I moved to Docker and Google Cloud Run, which automatically provision SSL. It's Pay As You Go and very cheap.
The only time I have to touch Let's Encrypt is on Digital Ocean. Luckily, there is Nginx-le Docker image with auto renew.
Thats so odd. Have you tried following Steps 5-7? I simply update the nameservers at GoDaddy to point to Cloudflare. I then click custom domain in my heroku app's setting (insert my url without www or https), and grab the dns target. Then I go over to Cloudflare and and add the two CNAME rows with the DNS target.

Anyways Heroku freeTier dyno will shut down after an idle. So not sure if I will use it for something serious.
Just set up a cron job that pings your site every 30 minutes medium.com/better-programming/keep...
Now, I made it with free everything.
SSL for custom domain on free-tier Heroku can be done with proper Cloudflare settings

I think I currently don't need to keep it awake, or cron job; but I will consider it.
BTW, for your WordPress, it seems to be possible to build pages in advance, to static page; and host it on Netlify, where it is always awake anyway.
The search bar inside WordPress would probably be dead, without Heroku or some kind of serverless function, though.
Awesome! Glad to hear this. Will it work with a dynamic site as well? I've been using cron-job.org (for free) and haven't had any issues
