CloudFlare is a security and performance company.
If it keeps happening on a particular page or with a particular browser, let us know. Otherwise, I can only see a few occurrences of this in the logs, so we can assume it isn't too prevalent.

That can happen if your browser requests are malformed, or you are using an IP address with a poor reputation (i.e. something like Tor, which gets used by spammers and those attacking other sites).
Basically this site, and about 10% of the internet, uses CloudFlare to stop the site being compromised or taken offline. And the basis of that is this idea of IP reputation and good/bad browser requests. If you look kinda odd to that analytical layer, then you're given a challenge to confirm that you are a person and not some nasty bot trying to steal data, or compomise the site.

I've just had Cloudflare interrupt proceedings with a "checking your browser before proceeding. DDOS protection by Cloudflare" screen. What is this shit?
