Do you need CloudFlare?

Seems to be fine now.

If your site is experiencing downtime because of overloading web server/ MYSQL server then I recommend premium.

Reduce your plugins to little or none.

Nope…    
Cloudflare actually helps the traffic, as it caches parts of the webpages.

lemme recheck the unimportant ones

If you can set cache on CloudFlare to aggressive or similar setting this may reduce load on your site possibly… not sure how CloudFlare deals with cacheing blogs etc.

It cache parts of query strings depending on what you set up in settings, as well as webpages (Always Online feature).

It can also minify the JS/CSS.

so what should I do now? @NGiNX

Try this:

Go to Cloudflare cPanel > DNS and turn off all yellow clouds from right side. This will disable Cloudflare service for your website.

Clear your browser cache and try browsing your website again.

I did that. I hope it doesn’t break down often
