      Your estimated wait time is 7 minutes.

  We are experiencing a high volume of traffic and using a virtual queue to limit the amount of users on the website at the same time. This will ensure you have the best possible online experience.
    I've never seen this before and that's a pretty big wait time to browse a website.

    Edit: Now it says 23 minutes.

    Framework missed out here by putting their blog behind the same cloudflare waiting room as their online store. They should probably put them on separate domains before the next big announcement like this.

    The site is working now and I'd love some commentary on the build. Especially the integrated graphics card and claimed AI/ML capabilities.

    - "Your estimated wait time is 8 minutes."

    - "We are experiencing a high volume of traffic and using a virtual queue to limit the amount of users on the website at the same time."

    - "Waiting Room powered by Cloudflare"

    Is this some sort of prank? Hard to believe a genuine Cloudflare page would be this user-hostile.

    Isn't this just a static HTML page? The thing Cloudflare is (attempting to) CDN?

    So much for getting to see ... whatever it is?
