About Cloudflare Status

BlueMonitor checks Cloudflare (cloudflare.com) by sending automated requests to its servers. If the service responds within a normal timeframe and returns a successful status code, it's marked as operational. Response times over 3 seconds indicate the service is slow, and connection failures or server errors indicate the service may be down.
