I don't think it was designed to handle the volume of traffic that HN generates.

A Cloudflare fronted website can't handle HN frontpage levels of traffic?

Then why does anybody use cloudflare?

    Probably bad cache headers configuration. Even with Cloudflare in front it could be forwarding every request to the backend if the cache headers are misconfigured...
