If I serve cloudflare images on my non-cloudflare hosted webpage, would the visitors still occasionally see the injected DDoS protection “checking your browser before accessing” page or would the images just fail to load then? Or is that browser checking disabled if just loading images?

That’s one reason why I haven’t checked out Cloudflare Pages, my (already statically hosted) website will unlikely be DDoSed and I wouldn’t want to impact user experience by adding random browser checks…

The JavaScript Challenge pages only run on dynamic assets, and so won’t impact image assets served.

Beyond that:

• You can turn down the sensitivity of the challenge pages: https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200170056-U... • Since Cloudflare Pages is fully hosted on us, we can soak the DDoS and don’t have to worry about letting things through to origin infrastructure. Benefit of serving directly from the edge :-)

(I work at Cloudflare, if that’s not clear)

Great, thanks - I was unaware of such an option.

Is this the same as on Gitlab?
