Screenshot of the error

Adding to this bug - its also returning this error:

Too Many Requests

The user has sent too many requests in a given amount of time.

Again - not sure what the issue is as the site has been working consistently well for many months without issue and no changes have been made?

Pause Cloudflare, or set the DNS record to “DNS only” to bypass Cloudflare so you can check the underlying origin server/host issue. Once fixed you can re-enable Cloudflare again.

Great suggestion! As soon as I turned it to DNS Only - everything worked?

So should I leave it to that setting with the DNS “A” record - where proxy status is DNS only?

“DNS only” means requests are not going through Cloudflare.

If the site works ok in that state, but not when proxied then there is some problem for Cloudflare to connect to your origin, or your host requires seeing their DNS records returned instead of Cloudflare proxy ones.

Ensure that you are not blocking any of the Cloudflare proxy IP addresses here…

When using the proxy, use only “Full (strict)” or “Strict” and not “Flexible” or “Full” to ensure your users’ connections are fully secured.
