Cloudflare's DDoS protection can sometimes trigger 520 errors if it incorrectly identifies legitimate traffic as malicious. This can happen if your server is experiencing unusual traffic patterns or if Cloudflare's mitigation rules are too aggressive. Review your Cloudflare security settings and consider adjusting the security level if you suspect this is the cause.
