    I also did the shift from Google to squarespace. Was ok with it till this year when they raised the rates. Have shifted to cloudflare now. Renewal rates are at cost, so cheaper than squarespace, plus their infra runs the net, so never have to worry about backend. My website is hosted on GitHub though, so cloudflare just points there. You can host on cloudflare pages, but it's a little technically involved.

    > there’s no mention of reaching out to the Perplexity team to work on a solution together. There’s an open standard, that’s not new, that we abide by. They’re clearly ignoring the robots.txt file. > Long story short: before publishing a blog post criticizing another company, things should be handled or at least attempted to be resolved privately. This is, of course, just my opinion and doesn’t represent anyone else’s. Should cloudflare reach out to every single site, prior to writing a post, that the site is knowingly a bad actor? Perplexity knows what they’re doing.

    @garrytan Perhaps this was a bug?' the most polite way to say 'WTF Cloudflare' haha

  • techjaqen Jaqen H'gar (@techjaqen) reported

    @hodlrand @rauchg Vercel offers the same setting The problem is CloudFlare turned it on by default without notification

  • Lokesh1jha Lokesh jha (@Lokesh1jha) reported

    At scale, web scraping was never subtle, with models this big, the data had to come from somewhere. Rotating IPs helps, but real efficiency is in avoiding blocks, not chasing them. 🤔What’s your take on scraping ethics or limits? #webscraping #Cloudflare

  • gavinlucas110 Gavin Lucas (@gavinlucas110) reported

    3/ You’ve probably seen Cloudflare’s new ‘Pay Per Crawl’ tool which lets webmasters charge AI models for accessing their content. It’s a good step, but the problem is obvious. It’s still centrally controlled by a big corp. Cloudflare can change the rules any time it likes.

  • Number1AIFanboy Number-One-AI-Fanboy (@Number1AIFanboy) reported

    Level3ID was built with the utmost in human privacy in mind. That is why I reiterate across the platform that we hold no images , everything is deleted upon successful verification. There are backup scripts to clean out any leftover garbage every day. End to end image encryption so that the image is never exposed. Every piece of code , thousands of lines, has been gone over with a fine tooth comb ensure the best security practices are in place for the code. Built on the @Cloudflare platform.

  • ech0devv ech0 (@ech0devv) reported

    @RatthewRants @illyism @Cloudflare I don't think you understand, we're fighting it because it costs us money PER REQUEST. When we allow tons of scrapers through to scrape all our content that costs network traffic and system resources, both of which are very expensive!

  • rob_soko Rob Sokolowski (@rob_soko) reported

    Increasingly convinced cloud providers are rent seeking with their **** (intentional!) design. AWS worse offender than GCP, but CloudFlare is sounding better for Firs backend the more I consider this

  • sandeepwww Sandy (@sandeepwww) reported

    @Cloudflare @AskPerplexity Why is your company acting in bad faith clearly invalidating preferences set by websites to not crawl. @AravSrinivas

  • puppeteer_0 Puppeteer (@puppeteer_0) reported

    @rauchg Cloudflare sucks btw.

  • ech0devv ech0 (@ech0devv) reported

    @RatthewRants @illyism @Cloudflare We can't just block the ones that misbehave because the only functional system we had for that, they just bypassed and ignored. Perplexity doing gymnastics to avoid blocks instead of respecting robots.txt is part of the problem.

  • mike_chong_zh 迈克 Mike Chong (@mike_chong_zh) reported

    @steipete Me too. Also I am a heavy user of Cloudflare Workers, and I feel like they always spend like 1% of their energy building great products. Also from their CDN side, their CDN service is still great but other parts are all pretty bad. Just waste of time.

  • RatthewRants Ratthew (@RatthewRants) reported

    @ech0devv @illyism @Cloudflare You aren't blocking an ai company, you'd be blocking me, if I want to use local ai to browse the internet, no service no big company, now what?

    2. Speed is everything. A slow website = lost customers. Go for hosting with: -SSD storage (not HDD) -LiteSpeed server (faster than Apache) -CDN integration (like Cloudflare).

  • thisismichael13 Michael (@thisismichael13) reported

    @testingcatalog @Cloudflare This is gonna become a much bigger problem as the agentic browser becomes the norm. We can’t keep blocking models from accessing websites like this.

    @FortisBC I have been trying to access your website and contact us to chat for several hours and @Cloudflare will not let me pass, and the click here for help only clocks. I AM HUMAN. I have broadband access. Help!! Time sensitive need to contact.

  • WildCat_io Mike Chong (@WildCat_io) reported

    @zeeg @CloudflareDev Cloudflare Workers is so bad, I just migrated another project from Cloudflare Workers to Docker, because it simply does not work. I get random errors about Stripe, about Sentry in production, which is not debuggable at all, not reproducible at all.

  • ech0devv ech0 (@ech0devv) reported

    @RatthewRants @illyism @Cloudflare Perplexity is violating a system that was built on trust (and in the past, worked!) so they can improve the experience for their customers. Sure as hell isn't the worst thing a company has done in recent times but is still disrespectful.

  • 802direct John Gouin (@802direct) reported

    @itsfoss2 I'm biased against cloudflare..I've been blocked because of my firewall..I don't know why but I know when I turned my firewall off I had no issue which indicates they needed to probe me for verification in some configurations. Also, agents are users as described.

  • destroyer473321 destroyer4781 (@destroyer473321) reported

    @IceSolst @perplexity_ai Clouflare attacked Perplexity publicly first online yesterday. rofl, cloudflare should have worked with them and fixed the issue.

  • AlexGrama Alex (@AlexGrama) reported

    this whole cloudflare vs perplexity thing is basically "we can't tell the difference between a helpful assistant and a malicious bot, so we're gonna block everything and call it security theater" the distinction perplexity makes here is actually crucial - there's a massive difference between systematic crawling (hoovering up millions of pages whether anyone wants them or not) and user-driven fetching (only grabbing content when a real person asks a specific question). it's like the difference between a library buying every book ever published vs someone walking in and asking for one specific article. cloudflare's response feels like they got caught with their pants down on basic traffic analysis and decided to double down with a blog post instead of just... fixing their detection systems? when your core business is understanding web traffic and you can't distinguish between 25M legitimate user requests and 6M third-party browser automation, that's not a perplexity problem. the "stealth crawling" accusation is particularly weird when they apparently confused browserbase traffic with perplexity's actual requests. it's giving "we investigated ourselves and found we were right" energy. maybe try asking questions before publishing technical diagrams that don't match reality?

  • kehlarn pittakionomaniac emeritus (@kehlarn) reported

    @Cloudflare is the real issue that robots fails to specify a rate limit clause for indexers and thus small sites gets ravaged, that indexers fail to realize topology and traffic crush specific peers or that we somehow expect robots compliance when we cant even rpsl irrd either

  • PranavJoshi28 QueueCommander (@PranavJoshi28) reported

    @narendramodi @GoI_MeitY India needs its own Cloudflare like mitigation service. We have engineers more than capable especially in Gujarat and I believe we can build it in 4–5 years.

  • squizzster Mark (@squizzster) reported

    @ai_for_success @perplexity_ai It's a tricky one, has Cloudflare become too powerful? Does Perplexity have a point? Both true I think yet Cloudflare has a point too. The problem is agents don't click on ads. If it's your front door you have a right whom to let in. Very messy.

  • octavianslash Tarak (@octavianslash) reported

    @amuldotexe @Cloudflare Hmm. What if the cloud costs are artificially high due to a combination of architectural issues, over reliance on expensive cloud features and just plain price gouging by cloud providers? AI might lead to some intresting discussions here

  • ak_8085 Anurag (@ak_8085) reported

    @_skris @Cloudflare What was the fix for the jio issue ? Did it work ?
