Hmmmm today it didn't go through the whole thing about checking.

 

Of course it did. I quit fooling around once Captain DHS over there unveiled what he was capable of with the Pam proxy. THINGS JUST GOT REAL!!! AND I NOW MUST TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT MYSELF!!!!

Cloudflare is often used by websites to protect themselves from DDOS attacks, and yes, the message you are seeing is a symptom of enabling the "I'm under attack" option within the cloudflare control panel. The only reason you'd do this is if someone was actively running a DDOS attack against your website, and that is probably why lds.net was offline for a few minutes too.

The 5 second redirect you are seeing primarily means standard HTTP DDoS attack traffic will never hit the lds.net webserver. Instead, the load is taken by cloudflare themselves who have a much larger infrastructure and are more easily able to handle it.

As long as cloudflare has been set up properly, it's actually really quite difficult to DDoS a website using it to the point that most attackers just give up.

The Conservative Party of Canada site loads the same way. Thanx to the info above I know why.
