I already reported this. The support person argued the point instead of addressing it.
I'm seeing this daily on a Cake affiliate portal. I wouldn't consider using any Cloudflare services for my sites. Instead of filling out captchas, I just skip content hosted by Cloudflare. Not worth my time.
- TekMol 6y agoThis seems to be a misunderstanding. You seem to refer to sites served by Cloudfront. My question was about their asset CDN located at cdnjs.cloudflare.com A website might be a target of a DOS attack, so it could make sense to have some heuristics in place to prevent those. An asset CDN is less likely to be attacked since it only hosts static content. And a captcha would not make sense as a signal for this because nobody would see it.
- aww_dang 6y agoRight, nobody sees the captchas for the static CSS files either. I agree that doesn't make any sense. Besides being inconvenient and broken, "doesn't make sense" is synonymous with unpredictable. Hope this helps. You're making a distinction between their services. That's fine, I understand and disagree. As a publisher/developer, I wouldn't be interested for the reasons listed. Aside from that, for most new sites, I remove unused CSS, JS and inline everything into the document. Better pagespeed score this way.
