Waiting Room decision

Queue page

Origin app

Visitors reach Cloudflare Edge first. Waiting Room decides whether they can enter. Excess traffic stays on the queue page while only admitted users reach origin.

Basic Queueing

FIFO is time-bucket based, not a strict per-user order guarantee. Use it for origin protection and broad fairness.
