Cloudflare Tips: Troubleshooting Common Problems

Debugging technical website issues can be challenging due to various factors such as network connections, server issues, and Cloudflare's data centers. To troubleshoot these problems, users should first check if their server is responding by using the curl command on Mac or CURL for Windows/Linux. If there are issues with accessing cPanel or FTP, users can follow specific steps to access them while using Cloudflare. Some scripts on websites may break due to Cloudflare's beta features like Rocket Loader and Auto Minify, which can be adjusted in the settings page. To prevent site issues, ensure that your server or hosting provider has Cloudflare IP ranges allowlisted and install mod_cloudflare for Apache servers. In case of a Cloudflare issue, users should check their server status, make sure Cloudflare's IPs are not blocked, and report the problem with necessary details. Temporarily deactivating Cloudflare can help resolve issues while allowing the team to investigate further.
