Cloudflare to block mixed-use AI crawlers by default
Cloudflare will block mixed-use web crawlers from ad-supported customer sites by default starting September 15, 2026. The change targets crawlers that blend search indexing with AI training and agent use. Apple, Google, and Microsoft Bing operate crawlers that could be affected, though each offers an AI opt-out directive.
