Also, I was unfamiliar with the 530 status code; turns out it's unofficial and somewhat arbitrary:

> 530 Site is frozen

Curious what this means in Cloudflare land.

> 530 Site is frozen

That's how Pantheon uses the code, not how Cloudflare uses it. The wikipedia article you linked has a whole section dedicated to Cloudflare's use of unofficial error codes.

Specifically, it doesn't mean much in particular for Cloudflare other than "check the other error code we returned elsewhere in the response to see what the actual issue is"
