Not shown in Cloudflare. But Valimail and MxToolBox show exceeding 10.

What is the issue you’re encountering

Cloudflare disagrees with Valimail and MxToolBox re. SPF DNS lookups exceeding 10.

What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?

Help from Bluehost and cf.sjr.org.uk :: Cloudflare Things removed the SPF DNS lookups exceeding 10 warning in DNS records.
But Valimail and MxToolBox still say SPF DNS lookups exceed 10.

Cloudflare disagrees

Cloudflare does not check your SPF record. It just uses whatever you set.

v=spf1 a mx include:websitewelcome.com ~all

Including websitewelcome.com uses up all 10 lookups, so a and mx take you over. Instead try…

v=spf1 ip4:74.220.209.135 include:websitewelcome.com ~all
