Cloudflare Error 522 means Cloudflare could not establish a connection to the origin server. In simple terms, Cloudflare tried to reach your hosting server but did not receive a successful response in time.
Common causes
- The origin server is offline or overloaded.
- The server firewall is blocking Cloudflare IP addresses.
- The website IP address in Cloudflare DNS is wrong.
- The hosting account or server is suspended.
- There is a routing or network problem.
What to check
- Check whether the origin server is online.
- Confirm the A record in Cloudflare points to the correct IP address.
- Check whether the server firewall allows Cloudflare traffic.
- Temporarily pause Cloudflare only if safe to do so.
- Check server load and web server status.
Important note
Error 522 is usually not caused by a browser problem. It normally requires DNS, firewall or hosting/server checks.
