That will be due to a cached DNS value, an online SSL checker reports:

No SSL certificates were found on bloxbux.net. Make sure that the name resolves to the correct server and that the SSL port (default is 443) is open on your server’s firewall.

How could i fix this?

[domjh]

You will need to make sure that you have a valid certificate installed on your server. You could ask your web host for help with fixing this. You can use a free Let’s Encrypt one or a Cloudflare Origin Certificate, or one from another provider.

Right now your server generally returns a 408 error. Also, SSL is not configured either for your server.

Neither of both is a Cloudflare issue but needs to be fixed on your server instead.
