serves cache

When your origin is unreachable, Always Online checks Cloudflare’s cache for a stale or expired version of your website. If a version does not exist, Cloudflare goes to the Internet Archive to fetch and serve static portions of your website.

They said they were working on proper async stale while revalidate in the later half of 2024

Cloudflare Docs

Revalidation and request collapsing | Cloudflare Cache (CDN) docs

Revalidation is a caching mechanism that involves checking the freshness of cached data before serving it to a client or user. If a cached object is no longer fresh and Cloudflare receives a request for it, a request is made to the origin to revalidate the object in the Cloudflare cache.
