Does anyone know how to access Cloudflare's snapshots?

If an always online snapshot is available, it will display it there. In that case, it looks like there wasn't one available.

Earlier I when the LTT forums were down I was served this page, and as you can imagine with that banner advertising the fact that this site uses Cloudflare always online technology, I wondered as I have many times before: "How do you access that snapshot."  In the end I chose to google it, and as you can imagine I came up empty except for some Reddit posts that speculated that the website could be incorrectly set up. So in the end I want to know, am I missing something, or am I just out on a wild goose chase?

Most of the time when you see this, its usually from a DDOS attack. @colonel_mortis would likely be able to confirm this.

That certainly may be the case, but that is not the info I am looking for... I am curios on how I can access the Cloudflare Always Online snapshot, if it is available in the future.

Linus may not use the Always On feature, they may be using it only as a dns server.

Second reason is the page is new, so the cloudflare cache robot haven't cache it yet.

Third reason, it's not working.

There was no DDoS (at least doesn't look like it). The actual server was down. During DDoS you get very slowly loading version of the site, with resource hungry features disabled. That's the snapshot it means.
