Which is more likely, a DDOS attack on your site or a Cloudflare outage?

I think that for most sites the DDOS attack is more likely.

Neither - users being blocked because they use an uncommon browser: https://www.theregister.com/2025/03/04/cloudflare_blocking_n...

Seems very unlikely for most sites to attract enough attention to get a DDOS. Searching "cloudflare outages":

Cloudflare apparently has outages every 1-2 years or so.
