Hi,
My site was working well with Cloudflare, until I started experiencing Error 524 (A timeout has occurred). I thought it was from my hosting server, only to discovered after several troubleshooting that it was coming from Cloudflare. The moment I paused Cloudflare my site started working fine again.
I have waited for two weeks to see if the problem was due to maintenance, but no success when I activated my site on Cloudflare again this morning.
Your server appears to be up but Cloudflare still cannot connect. Check if you have any firewall rules (or anything similar) on your server configured which could prevent Cloudflare from connecting. That seems to be the most likely reason at this point.
This issue since to be cache related. If I purge every on Cloudflare my site will come up, if I try access another page it will display Error 524 again, if I purge every, it will work again. Any help will be appreciated.
