Protection looks on. Can hits still reach the server?
You pay for a website shield. If the real server address is still open, traffic can go around it. One plain question.
Common story. “We have Cloudflare” — or another shield. The panel is green. The invoice is paid. Then the site dies, and support says the requests never reached them.
That happens when the name points at a shield, but the server is still reachable directly. Like a locked front door with an open side gate.
People search it in plain words: Cloudflare bypass, origin exposed, traffic around the shield. They want a verdict: holds / can go around / unclear.
Orb44 checks that gap. On the public page we do not show the raw server address. In a full snapshot you get a wider picture.
If bad: lock direct access, leave only the shield path, re-check. If unclear: do not fake certainty.
Also check subdomains and mail hosts — they can leak the same box.

In plain terms: answer one clear question about your storefront first, then decide if you need a longer review. A one-minute check beats a week of guessing.
Keep the bar honest. A green result on a narrow check is not a forever-safe certificate. It only says what we saw on the public page we fetched right now.
If the result is red, fix the concrete thing first — the script, the open side door, the listing — then re-check. Screenshots into the admin chat work better than vague worry.
Share the checker link with whoever actually owns the site. Owners search symptoms. Admins need a binary answer they can act on today.
