I believe cloudflare is just letting their requests go through and their webserver can't handle it?

vbezhenar: They've misconfigured something and the page itself is marked max-age=0 which disables cloudflare caching. I'm also betting nginx isn't caching either.

What's the point of using Cloudflare without caching?

Cloudflare has some other features like a Web Application Firewall (WAF) and bot protection/filtering (which seems like it would solve their problems too?)

From the article:

> Presently, we use Cloudflare as our CDN or WAF, as it is a widely adopted solution.

To me, it sounds like the author isn't really familiar with the difference between a CDN and WAF is; or familiar with Cloudflare beyond it being a popular thing they should probably have for that matter.
