Not insulting talented team CF has. The end result though is that viewing a static asset, a policy position, shouldn't be challenging residential users with a captcha. Whatever the cause, this behaviour is wrong. It's particularly noticeable as a ton of other static assets are served. So it's just switching the doc content for a captcha, while still returning all the images and styling.

Jet.com gad the same issue - captcha every time I erased cookies, despite having my own residential IP. Till I brought it to their attention. (Maybe coincidence.)

This mirrors my own experience as a low end user. Devs in Easter Europe would get challenged a lot until we went and whitelisted everyone.
