Screenshot of the error

Your screenshot shows error 526, which is also what I see when I open your website in my browser. You have an invalid SSL certificate at GoDaddy’s end.

To avoid the back-and-forth finger-pointing, temporarily PAUSE Cloudflare so requests go directly to GoDaddy, bypassing the Cloudflare CDN. This will make the invalid GoDaddy SSL certificate visible, instead of the Cloudflare error page. Fix the certificate, and then un-pause Cloudflare.

Thank you bless your kind heart George. Spoke to Godaddy they unpublished my site and republished it and that fixed it temporarily. Site is working as of now but it did temporarily stop again with Error 522. I put the SSL setting on cloudflare to Automatic (was flexible). Would this help resolving it permanently?

A 522 means Cloudflare reached your origin but the connection never completed in time, so ‘it works on GoDaddy’s end’ is expected. Direct visitors get through while Cloudflare gets blocked. The usual culprit is an origin firewall that drops Cloudflare’s IP ranges. allowlist them, confirm the server listens on 80 and 443, and double-check the A record points to the right IP.
