Monster Bot/DDoS attack overnight.

The majority of those 48 resources are cacheable static resources and reused on most if not all pages, so for repeat visitors it's almost certainly far less in practice. Still, the exact variance can be hard to account for, especially when you take into account user generated content, people opening things in multiple tabs, CGNAT, etc.
 
@Jeremy P I installed the Digital Point CF plugin, and I do like it. So thanks for that tip!

It doesn't really do anything you cannot do from inside the Cloudflare site itself but it makes it easier to see some info, and lets other admins make changes without giving them direct access to the CF interface. It doesn't give you all the options, but its definitely more convenient in some ways.

One thing I like is how it aggregates data differently in the admincp and I think the graphs are better. You do not have to go to different parts of the CF site to see things.

The Threats stat in this one is interesting. The peak is that DDoS attack last week, and the drop off was when I blocked China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Vietnam and Ukraine. They can stay blocked I think.

Yeah, most of the stuff can be done from the Cloudflare dashboard, but it does streamline configuration for XF, and there's still a few things (like using workers to handle proxies, which I highly recommend for hiding your IP) that require custom code on the XF side of things to bridge.
