The screenshot shows that you were trying to open a WordfenceScan page. Such pages usually take a long time to load, and it is natural for Cloudflare to time out.
In case those pages don't have any option to email you the results of the scan or such workarounds, you can disable cloudflare for yourself by directly accessing the site, without cloudflare proxying, by editing the hosts file on your computer.
On Windows, you would do this by going to the start menu, and start typing notepad.exe, right click on Notepad, choose Run as Administrator, and open the file
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
(since it is just hosts and not hosts.txt, when using File->open to find it, you must choose the drop-down "All files *. *" option.)
In that file, you can add extra lines at the end,
1.2.3.4 ourserver.org
4.5.6.7 staging.ourserver.org
When you are through with your admin work and if you want to access through cloudflare again, you can comment out each of these lines by adding the # symbol as the first character on those lines. This is optional, you can continue to access without cloudflare also.
Why this solution is better than just disabling cloudflare - this can allow general users to have the snappiness of cloudflare proxying while only admins can access the unproxied direct URL.
(After making changes to the hosts file, you may need to close your browser, open it again, and perhaps re-login for the changes to take effect. Or perhaps restart your computer.)
