 * When under attack mode is enabled using Cloudflare, the plugin reports that the
   website is ‘offline’?

 * Thanks for reaching out [@rik0399](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rik0399/).
   The plugin is reporting that your website is offline based on Cloudflares attack
   mode, which [pauses access to your site](https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/reference/under-attack-mode/#:~:text=will%20temporarily%20pause%20access%20to%20your%20site%20and%20impact%20your%20site%20analytics).
   This would be expected if your site had this mode active within Cloudflare.
 * From reviewing this particular Cloudflare feature, you can mitigate the impact
   of this mode by following [this guide on the Cloudflare website](https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/reference/under-attack-mode/),
   by restricting the audience for this mode.
 * Let me know if you have any questions with the above.

 * Hi,
   I get that?So if this is used, and the site is constantly being attacked 
   by bots and hackers, there’s no point using the plugin, right?
 * Is that correct?

 * If the front end of your site is unavailable, which [seems to be the case](https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/reference/under-attack-mode/#:~:text=temporarily%20pause%20access%20to%20your%20site%20and%20impact%20your%20site%20analytics)
   with Cloudflares “Under attack mode”, this doesn’t stop you from using the Site
   Kit dashboard if you wish, providing you can access your administrator control
   panel.
 * Whether you use Site Kit or not, site visits with Google Analytics also won’t
   be tracked if your site is unavailable.

 * Thanks for the update [@rik0399](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rik0399/).
   If you’re stats do not show, can you share what you are seeing on the Site Kit
   dashboard, or are you referring to the Site Kit admin toolbar stats on the front
   end of your site? Please share any errors or messages you’re encountering and
   I can advise on this further.
 * Note that if your site is not available due to you placing your site in Cloudflares“
   Under attack mode”, then no WordPress admin toolbar feature will be available,
   as your site is not accessible.
