On both my tablet (Chrome) and my PC (Firefox), I get a screen that shows "Checking your browser before accessing f150forum.com".

It says to allow 5 seconds, but it basically just cycles and hangs up without progressing. It says it's DDoS protection by Cloudflare.

Is this some part of the site, or something on my end?

Thanks

Cloudflare does provide an additional layer of security to F150Forum, and sister networks, and has for some years. Normally, viewers won't see that message unless Cloudflare identifies something specific to your requests. If you've disabled javascript and/or using other plugins that alter the appearance and/or functionality of the site, then that may be a contributor. That you indicate it gets "stuck" indicates you've got some customized settings or plugins with your browser that is not allowing the script to function.
