I don't think this setup is going to work based on my reading of the docs at https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/218411427-Understanding-and-Configuring-Cloudflare-Page-Rules-Page-Rules-Tutorial- which says pretty plainly

Cache Level - Bypass - Cloudflare does not cache.

There must be a way to do it though.  It's an obvious use case.  I'll read the docs more a little later.  Are you using the free plan or a paid one?
