I think I have CloudFlare on, and I am seeing requests with a CloudFlare header, but I am still getting a huge amount of traffic. I am not sure what the issue is. Maybe the site is so busy that CloudFlare can’t even load it to cache it, haha. Anyway, I have to leave for an exam now, so let’s hope it manages to work itself out.

Changing to cloud flare probably meant updating your dns settings. Based on the TTL of the record and clients respecting it, the change can take a while (up to days even) to spread around the world.

I do believe you have to actually set some headers on your origin HTTP server, to tell the CF caches how long to cache for.
