Managed Cloudflare: bad bots out, customers in.
We tune your WAF and bot rules, then test checkout and login after every change.
₹12,999 a month per website. You keep your Cloudflare account.
Customers, search and advertising crawlers and API clients pass through Cloudflare, where each request is inspected, and they are allowed through to the website, checkout or API. Suspicious traffic is held at a challenge: real people pass it and continue, and suspected fake browsers are challenged or blocked. Known bad bots are blocked at Cloudflare.
- Customers Allowed , straight through to your site
- Search & ad crawlers Allowed , Google, Bing and ad crawlers, straight through
- Your apps & APIs Allowed , webhooks and API clients, straight through

Blocked traffic never reaches it.
Unverified bots such as scrapers and fake browsers reach Cloudflare and are inspected. Suspicious traffic branches into two mitigations: a managed challenge or a rate limit. Suspected fake browsers are challenged or blocked. Traffic that passes is checked again for behaviour before it reaches your site’s content and APIs.
- Real trafficafter a behaviour check Allowed , passes the challenge and a behaviour check, then reaches your site
- Repeat requests Slowed , rate limited
- Fake browsers Blocked , fail the challenge
- Content
- APIs
We challenge or block suspected fake browsers.

Four kinds of automated traffic reach Cloudflare. Verified search and AI-answer crawlers such as Googlebot, Bingbot and OAI-SearchBot are allowed. AI training crawlers are allowed or blocked according to your policy. Signed AI agents acting for real people are allowed, with rate limits on checkout, login and account pages. We block or challenge suspected scrapers and fake browsers, and tune the rules so real users get through.

Common questions
What is managed Cloudflare?
A team runs your Cloudflare for you: WAF, bot, cache and crawler rules, tuned to your site and tested after every change. You keep your account and billing; we review what Cloudflare blocked and allowed every month.
Is Cloudflare blocking Google from my website?
It can. Bot and AI-crawler settings sometimes catch Googlebot, Bingbot or ad crawlers, and owners find out from a Search Console warning or a traffic drop. We allow verified crawlers narrowly and check them every month.
Why does checkout or login break after a Cloudflare change?
Usually a security or caching rule treats customers like bots, or caches pages that must differ per shopper. We test checkout, login, forms and search after every change we make.
Can I block AI bots without disappearing from Google and AI answers?
Yes. Search and AI-answer crawlers stay allowed, AI training crawlers follow your choice, and scrapers or fake browsers are blocked. We set Cloudflare to match and check it monthly.
Can attackers get around Cloudflare to reach my server?
Yes, if the server can be reached directly through old DNS records or an exposed IP. We find those paths and lock the server to Cloudflare traffic where your setup allows it.
How much does managed Cloudflare cost?
₹12,999 per business website per month ($150 on US invoices), with a three-month minimum. Your Cloudflare subscription is billed by Cloudflare. A second website on the same account is ₹6,999 a month.
Can you manage our existing Cloudflare account?
Yes. Your account and billing stay with you. We first check which controls your Cloudflare plan has, then manage the agreed settings.
