The eQualitie site itself (equalit.ie) was a CloudFlare site. Very recently it's not. We should pay attention in case their current state is temporary, but for the moment they seem decent.

Why you should say "No" to Cloudflare
Self-hosting
Self-hosting often works great, but it requires some effort to setup. It is more aimed at technical people.
We might create a guide for some self-hosting basics which don't require Cloudflare. IPFS may be worth consideration if performance is the main concern.

CDNJS
CDNJS is sponsored by Cloudflare. It might use it in the background.
Why X is not included
| X | Reason |
|---|---|
| Netlify | Uses Amazon AWS which is also a content delivery network. It would be hypocritical to include it. |
| Siteground | Tor-hostile people. |
| jsDelivr | Uses Cloudflare, see their network page |
| Gitlab pages | GitLab is now Cloudflared |
| Impurva Incapsula | Tor-hostility impacts ~3.411% of access attempts according to tests (perhaps this isn't significant enough to condemn them) |
History
Sucuri and eQualitie have a history of CloudFlare patronage, but no longer.
