Coming back with my own blog (hosted on iPad 2) after asking here the same question

I get a bad gateway error and can’t load the site and Cloudflare tells me it’s a host error (they are doing their job just fine, the first two bullet points assure me) so hopefully hosting a website isn’t what to do with it.

I remember Cloudflare's job was to cache the page back in the day.. is it still the case?

It depends on how the site is configured in Cloudflare. I'm pretty sure I had to change the default settings to make it keep my site up even if my server goes down (and even then I'm not sure I did it right)

The tunnel disconnected somehow. No idea what happened, cause the iPad was still running the server correctly, maybe network issue.

The default settings don't cache HTML. (Maybe even if the server says to cache it. I seem to need to add special rules to make it respect the standard cache headers)
