Does this sound familiar?
Bot Fight Mode is on, but it's not working
You enabled it, checked the box, moved on. Traffic to your origin barely moved and you're not sure what's actually being blocked.
AI crawlers are bringing your server to its knees
GPTBot and friends are scraping your site around the clock. You want Googlebot and Bingbot to keep working. Everything else, gone.
Cloudflare™ blocks real customers, but not the bots!
A "phishing" or "malware" false positive quietly rejected a real signup or a real payment, and nobody noticed until a customer complained.
I get waves of abusive account creation on my site
Your signup form is a magnet for throwaway accounts and credential-stuffing attempts. Rate limiting rules exist, but nobody configured them for this.
I think I might have blocked Googlebot!
An overly broad security rule ended up blocking Googlebot or Google Ads' verification crawlers, and nobody noticed. The result: a sudden drop in organic traffic or suspended ad campaigns, with a direct, immediate hit to your audience and revenue.
I've read every forum, but I'm still stuck without a solution
You've posted on forums or social media. You got a generic reply, nothing really actionable. You need someone to actually configure it and prove it worked.
Who this is for
Site owner
You run your own website, e-commerce store or SaaS on Cloudflare™, and the settings feel far too complex and risky.
Small internal IT team
One specific problem to fix, no bandwidth to become a Cloudflare™ specialist to fix it.
Hosting & managed services provider
Need effective Cloudflare™ configuration for your clients, for immediate results.
Web agency / dev shop
Your clients require you to work within their existing Cloudflare™ setup, and it disrupts your migration or launch process.
How it works
A methodical approach to bot protection. Fixed price, three stages, a measured result. Available as two plans (see pricing): you can implement the changes yourself, or have us do it for you.
Diagnostic & baseline
You give us minimum, read-only access.
We analyze your real traffic and your domain's Cloudflare™ configuration.
Together, we define the success criterion: the measurable indicator to improve.
Rule design & adjustments
Do It Yourself plan: we hand you the exact rule expressions and configuration changes to apply yourself.
Done for you plan: we apply and iterate WAF, Bot Fight Mode, Rate Limiting, Challenge, CacheRule, etc. rules directly, until your target is hit or after three iterations, whichever comes first.
Final measurement & guarantee
We compare the final result to the initial situation, after iterating on step two as needed to achieve measurable results.
If there is no measurable improvement, we commit to refunding you.
Examples of the technical success criterion set at the start of the engagement
- Reduce the number of requests reaching your origin server per day, for traffic outside your target audience
- Block every crawler except a whitelist you name (e.g. keep Googlebot/Bingbot, block AI scrapers like GPTBot)
- Stop spam account sign-ups
- Increase your Cloudflare™ cache hit ratio
- Improve Core Web Vitals scores for a specific page on your site
- Reduce the number of 500 errors returned by your origin server
- Make your site discoverable by AI crawlers
Least privilege, by design
You only grant what's needed for the plan you picked. Nothing else. The exact scope depends on whether you implement the changes yourself or have us do it for you.
