Cloudflare is a content delivery network or CDN – a system of many fast servers running from different places across the globe. Since being geographically closer to a server often leads to faster loading speeds, CDNs ensure that anyone loading a website from anywhere happens at a reasonable speed.

Cloudflare had an outage today and that was the error message you receive when that happens.
