I'm not sure TBH, I don't get any CloudFlare stuff pop up when I hit the site.

I had a quick look and there is some security thing, similar to Cloudflare.

Oh it does say Cloudflare at the bottom but doesn't look like the normal Cloudflare check..

If they are going offline WITH Cloudflare then that needs looking into more.. As suggests Cloudflare isn't working..

I'm assuming that's all done as the site is back up again.
