If you're trying to run tests on Testmy.net, it's currently down.

that's actually very bad for several reasons. Now I'm unsure what Cloudflare is actually caching with testmy and how they calculate it.

 

Since Cloudflare's network is distributed, I'm also unsure what selecting a testmy server location actually does, if anything, since you're really just talking to Cloudflare, not testmy...

Well, that doesn't sound good at all.

Interestingly, I can ping the testmy server just fine.

Cloudflare acts as the server-in-the-loop and nameserver. It reroutes/caches only webserver type actions: Images, css, and executable javascript (or php) code; and only when addressed through the *testmy.com domain. Anything other than http or https activity just gets passed through, such as pings and (s)ftps. They also won't handle any access that is direct via IP which bypasses them and goes directly to the original webserver.

If I understand what you're saying, this explains why the ping works.

It's still having problems.  The My Results page isn't working properly.

I just tested it and it seems fine to me.  What's wrong with the results page?

It's intermittent, but it sometimes goes to a Cloudflare 403 failure page or this....

And now when I try the site it's this....

Yeah, it's down again for me too.  It was fine for hours.
