How can I enable crawler blocking (and access other Security settings) for a static page?
I'm using a static Cloudflare page for a personal website with a fair amount of embedded media files. I'd like to block crawlers / AI bots if at all possible. Every tutorial I've seen about the recently introduced crawler protection features mentions opening Security/Bots section of the dashboard to access them. However, I can't find it in my dashboard and I can't reach what's shown on the screenshots by following the relative link
/?to=/:account/:zone/security/bots/configure from Cloudflare articles (it redirects me to Websites tab of the dashboard, which is empty). I'm not sure why my static page doesn't appear in the list of websites.
Is there a specific set of steps I need to follow to opt my Cloudflare page into the Website section of the dashboard and unlock Security features, or are static Cloudflare pages a separate concept not compatible with Cloudflare security dashboard?2 replies
