Error 523 in Cloudflare suggests that Cloudflare isn't able to connect with the website host, or in this case, your Linode. Here are three steps you can take to help resolve this:
Make sure that Cloudflare's IP is pointing to your Linode's IP.
Connect to your Linode and restart your webserver (Apache2, Nginx)
