In non technical terms, some operating systems (eg iOS) will vouch that you are human. Which bypasses the need to click on things.

There we go, a strong opinion.

1. Some people prefer pages to scrolling (it’s amazing the strength of opinion about this for either point of view)
2. Advertisements are charged per impression. So each page counts as a new impression
3. Be grateful websites no longer auto scroll web pages
4. Some things lend themselves to page by page. For example very long articles (this is why books replaced scrolls)
5. Be grateful that websites stopped animating page turns etc
6. Sometimes web developers don’t care and just use a bought in package

It depends also on what type of business. For example in Finance a consumer is a real person who buys/borrows uses something but a customer is a general term for a person, business, organisation or partnership that buys goods or services.

For example, I might have an account at XYZ Bank and so might a company. We are both customers of XYZ Bank but I am a consumer and the company isn’t.

[to complicate things small businesses might class as consumers in some jurisdictions]

It looks like Cloudflare can contact the server but the request doesn’t complete.

This might mean it’s still there but misconfigured.

I am also in the same position. It seems to have disappeared. Edit: it looks like the admin enabled Cloudflare which reports that the host server is not replying.

That means it’s either down or not configured properly.
