On real launch days, this page can receive well over a million requests in a single minute as collectors race to buy limited-stock Pokémon TCG product. Without traffic shaping, the origin gets overwhelmed and the site looks "down" to legitimate shoppers. Cloudflare Waiting Room queues excess visitors (FIFO) once a configured threshold is hit, showing a branded queue page with live position/wait-time instead of a broken experience, then lets people through as capacity frees up.
This page is also covered by Cloudflare Bot Management to separate real collectors from scripted "sniper" bots trying to buy up stock automatically, and by the Cloudflare WAF (managed rules, a custom rule, and rate limiting) to block malicious/abusive request patterns before they ever reach this page.
Use this to simulate a traffic flood against this page for the Waiting Room demo. Not linked from primary nav — for presenter use.
