I use cloudflare to block bots and agents and they were able to scan still which is quite annoying.
The site claims to be by cloudflare (didn't find a reverse link to confirm), so maybe they use their own little backdoor.

GEO?
"Generative Engine Optimization" a phrase as dumb as the idea. For 30 years marketers have been doing everything they can to avoid making sites useful for people, despite that being what Google rewarded from the start (e.g. relevant link text, page titles, and headings).
I searched for a specific niche product the other day. Second result down was AI blogspam “what to buy now that product X has been discontinued. We reviewed these 9 alternatives now that the company shut down.”
The company didn’t shut down. The 9 alternatives were the same product by the same company in different sizes and quantity counts. How kind of them to hallucinate so many glowing reviews for me after they hallucinated a problem into existence first.
At least the search engine can summarize all the slop for me. It even cites sources! The sources directly contradict the summary almost every time, but why would you click through?
Is it just me or is Cloudflare releasing like 5 new products a day right now?

Ironic perfection.

Maybe we can start a new protocol where the html is encrypted, and the viewer must try 2^10 to 2^20 hashes before the decryption key is discovered. Same formula that BTC mining uses. It would be negligible cost for any single user but terribly expensive for crawling en-masse.
Anything that increases the entry time by a second or more is a pretty good way to make me (and probably others) just not bother with opening the website.

You might want to take a look at AI Crawl Controls https://developers.cloudflare.com/ai-crawl-control/
I might, except I don't, because fuck Cloudflare.
I woke up with such a bad feeling..
Lol, literally launched on Monday https://agenttester.com
I'd rather have a site showing how well my site is protected from being accessed by AI agents would be preferable, and advises how I can lock it down further. Basically, the exact opposite of this.
Wrong way round. Should be "Is Your Agent Reality-Ready?" (Hint: no)
That depends. I used "AIs" to help me quickly sift though many accommodation, travel and entertainment options for my upcoming holiday (4 people, 2 weeks). If the "AI" I was talking with couldn't see your offer, it naturally didn't exist for me in the assessment and choice phase I then did. So I don't think it's universally a "no". Like it or not, LLMs are useful.
