Do you have a local resolver (or /etc/hosts entry) that’s pointing j-ride.co.uk at your origin IP for development? Note that the Cloudflare origin SSL certificate only works between Cloudflare and your origin…

For me, accessing the site via Cloudflare, the site loads fine.

If you want the local resolver to work without the warning, use a LetsEncrypt cert or other on the origin.

(Or maybe just a cached DNS entry local to you that’s still resolving to Bluehost rather than Cloudflare as your WHOIS shows changes as of today)
