The contact form won’t send, have a cache rule to bypass page, but still have issue, if i turn cloudflare off the issue goes so something in cloudflare, not sure what more to do.
Tested lately, I can see the request has been sent, but quite long time executing the same or never finished in my Web browser (stuck icon at loading…)?
And got timeout error 524, since the request took longer than 100s (Cloudflare’s default) to execute on the origin host, somehow:
May I ask if you’ve checked the Security tab → Events for any clue if some of the request(s) related to the contact.php path was being challenged or blocked by the Cloudflare WAF & Security options which you’ve got configured in-place?
Noted, thanks. I have tried blocking caching the folder that contains the files but still have the issue. Any thoughts how best to tackle this? First site is now working away from cloudflare ok, but this second test site isn’t, but that is with cloudflare.
You need examine how the page works and identify what is affecting the expected flow. It’s going to be impossible to fix until you are able to clearly identify exactly what isn’t working as expected. Identifying that will require an intimate knowledge of each step required for the form to work successfully.
