I use the Discourse Forum, and I just turned “on” the proxy service on Cloudflare. After that, I noticed that my website was immediately broken until I turned it off.

Can’t I just use it along with the proxy status “on” on the website?  
official website is [here](https://closertogoals.com/)

If the website is flooded, someone can easily launch a Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attack.  
Thank You
