As soon as companies starting reported these issues on social media, Cloudflare comes to action immediately and found the causing issue.

[{"selector":"#anim-1e44f80e-e589-404a-8322-66bd264a2cec","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-12308422-99cd-44c5-94cf-75161d61088f [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(2.6315786599386786%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}]
