Why does Cloudflare tell me I'm able to browse a snapshot while the site is offline, but there is no snapshot?

Why does Cloudflare tell me I'm able to browse a snapshot while the site is offline, but there is no snapshot?
- z5h 9y agoI get the same, and have seen it for other sites recently.
- jasonlotito 9y agoI've never known Cloudflare to do things well. It's the last CDN I'd want to use. Edit: For example, the 502 page is showing, but supposedly, you are supposed to see the site based on this: "However, because the site uses Cloudflare's Always Online™ technology you can continue to surf a snapshot of the site."
- rconti 9y agoYeah, this is the first time I've ever seen the "you can continue to surf a snapshot of the site" message along with the 502 though. Or maybe I've just never looked that closely.
- Pfhortune 9y agoThis is because, humorously, the snapshot is actually of the 502 page. Apparently Cloudflare kicked in too late.
- george3383 9y agoNo, it's not a snapshot of the 502 page, because I see my own IP there.
- chinhodado 9y agoIs that how is's supposed to work? Because any time this happened in the past to a site where it is overcrowded and the Cloudflare banner is showing, the 502 page is showing as well, so I thought it's part of the Cloudflare error page?
