I’m running a content-based website https://tvmon.com.co/ focused on Korean drama and movie information, hosted on Cloudways with Cloudflare enabled. Recently, I’ve been seeing intermittent 522 connection timeout errors, mostly during traffic spikes.

The origin server itself looks stable when checked directly, but Cloudflare sometimes fails to connect, especially when multiple users access pages at the same time. I’ve already verified firewall rules, whitelisted Cloudflare IPs, and checked server load, which appears normal.

Has anyone faced similar Cloudflare-to-origin timeout issues on Cloudways? I’m trying to understand whether this is related to server response limits, Cloudflare settings, or something that needs tuning at the Cloudways level. Any insight or best practice would really help.
