CF GarageThe challenge: security without collateral damage
As a website owner, your primary concern is simple: keep genuine customers buying, readers browsing, and search engines indexing, while completely keeping abusive scrapers and malicious bots away from your origin server.
Unfortunately, standard Cloudflare™ settings can feel overwhelming:
- Generic Bot Fight Mode triggers unexpected JavaScript challenges on legitimate customers or payment webhook callbacks.
- Overly aggressive WAF Managed Rules can block legitimate forms, account registrations, or password reset requests.
- AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Bytespider) hammer your origin database, slowing down pages for real buyers.
- Misconfigured security expressions might accidentally block Googlebot or Google Ads verification bots, causing ranking crashes.
