The problem is that the certificate on your server has expired.

www.wordpressornot.com is not proxied by Cloudflare, so this can’t possibly be a Cloudflare problem.

So, what solution do you recommend to solve this problem as i am using Free plan of Cloudflare?

The certificate on your server needs to be updated. That is not something Cloudflare is involved with.

How exactly you update it is something best discussed with your host.

I deleted the cloudflare name servers and then updated it again. I have also talked with Hosting provider but they are saying it is updated on our servers. they suggested me to contact with Cloudflare support

That is obviously not true, as you can see when you visit www.wordpressornot.com.

Then why it shows this website have cloudflare name servers while checking it online. Dig web interface - online dns lookup tool

The nameservers have nothing to do with the certificate on your server.

Then what will be the solution? because GoDaddy is denying what you are saying

You might want to move your website to a different hosting company.

Especially as your server has not been updated in a few years:

X-Powered-By: PHP/7.4.33

You can see here that PHP 7.4 was last updated in 2022. So for almost two years, your server has not received security updates. That’s a long time of not getting updates.
