>when you paste a link on reddit and it autocompletes the title
Oh no, you have to copy/paste the title?
>update a bookmark title, or check if it exists.
I can access the site without a captcha, my browser can fetch the title.
>is it not self-evident that a link being crawlable is useful?
No, it is not. Maybe a site owner does not want crawlers to index the site?
Me being able to access the title and any html meta tags is not the same as some crawler being able to access it. It seems like your beef is with cloudflare and that is fine but please state that that is your issue and don't try to frame it as something else. What I don't get is how everybody places the blame at cloudflares feet. It is my choice as a host to use cloudflare and to use their protection features.
- cblconfederate 6y agoi m not sure if you re being serious CF is so widespread that it breaks a significant part of the web for simple things like getting the page title. That's all. The End.
- seniorgarcia 6y ago'I' can get the page title though. That's all. The End. I don't care about your crawler. Or your ability to post the link to my site to twitter/fb and if I did maybe I'd revise my cloudflare settings.
