522 Timeouts from Cloudflare to Origin
I'm experiencing random 522 connection timeout errors from Cloudflare on my guide site https://avsogirl.net/, which helps users find the latest working addresses and safety tips for AV쏘걸. The site is hosted on Cloudways with Cloudflare proxy turned on, and these timeouts pop up mostly during sudden traffic increases when lots of people check for updated links at once.
Direct access to the origin server seems fine and stable, with no obvious high load or crashes, and I've already made sure Cloudflare's IP ranges are fully whitelisted in the firewall, verified no blocking rules, and confirmed basic server resources look normal. Still, Cloudflare occasionally can't establish or hold the connection during concurrent accesses.
Has anyone dealt with these sporadic 522 issues specifically on Cloudways setups? Wondering if it's tied to origin response timeouts under burst traffic, some hidden Cloudways rate limiting, or perhaps a tweak needed in Cloudflare's timeout/keep-alive settings. Any real-world fixes or tuning suggestions would be super helpful thanks in advance!
