AI-Bots

Cloudflare observed a 4x increase in bot-related traffic on Black Friday in 2024. 29% of all traffic on our network on Black Friday was Grinch Bots wreaking holiday havoc.

This year for Cloudflare’s birthday, we’ve extended our AI Assistant capabilities to help you build new WAF rules, added new AI bot & crawler traffic insights to Radar, and given customers new AI bot blocking capabilities

Cloudflare customers on any plan can now audit and control how AI models access the content on their site.

To help preserve a safe Internet for content creators, we’ve just launched a brand new “easy button” to block all AI bots. It’s available for all customers, including those on our free tier
