Summary

Completed the Cloudways Flexible follow-up from the May 23 verification. No live DNS, SSL, Cloudflare, WordPress, or Cloudways writes were made.

What was accomplished

Queried Cloudways MCP for server/app state, bandwidth graph data, incoming graph data, app bandwidth summary, Cloudflare integration status, and Let's Encrypt state.
Pulled Flexible origin nginx status logs over SSH and built a daily request-count comparison artifact.
Created local evidence at /Users/samaguiar/Documents/Codex/reports/cloudways-flexible-followup-2026-05-24/.
Verified current public and origin routing for apex, www, /contact-us/, sitemap, and robots.
Verified public and origin SSL certificates include SANs for aguiarinjurylawyers.com and www.aguiarinjurylawyers.com.
Confirmed Cloudflare has exactly one www.aguiarinjurylawyers.com A record, pointed at 155.138.233.18, with proxied=false.

Findings

The Cloudways graph drop is best explained as measurement/reset noise, not a production outage. Cloudways bandwidth is cumulative for the month. It rose from about 3.922 GB on April 25 to about 9.344 GB on April 30, then reset near 0.011 GB at the April 30 to May 1 month boundary. That reset can look like a collapse. Flexible origin logs on April 28 show 575 requests, 540 2xx responses, 32 redirects, 3 4xx responses, and 0 5xx responses.

The www SSL validation issue appears resolved now. Cloudways app 6360875 reports Let's Encrypt is_verified=true and is_installed=true for apex plus www, and certificate SANs match.

Challenges

GSC and GA4 user-session corroboration was unavailable in this run. Both local GSC service accounts returned 403, GA Admin API is disabled for the service-account project, and local Google ADC still fails with deleted_client. Cloudflare zone ruleset detail is also unauthorized across available tokens, even though the token can list ruleset IDs.

Current handoff

Keep www DNS-only. Do not re-proxy www until Cloudflare dynamic redirect ruleset detail is accessible or a controlled proxy test proves www/contact-us/ preserves the path. If SSL validation regresses, the narrow fix is to keep www DNS-only, reissue Cloudways Let's Encrypt for only apex plus www, poll the operation, verify SANs at the origin IP, and rerun public/origin URL checks.
