Cloudflare has human checks before you can access some sites. Some apps and screenreaders no longer work with those sites.
They can also read the traffic that goes to websites.
Use noc.org if you need a CDN.
Not only apps and screenreaders. Some legit browsers too.
I have a browser that basically does not let the website know what or who it is ( user agent is a random number ) and cloudflare just flat out refuses me from viewing websites.
Fine cloudflare hosted website, keep your secrets!
Probably an unpopular opinion in this thread, but the site owner can disable those checks (or increase them), so it's not like all Cloudflare sites have those checks.
