CAPTCHA Protection

CAPTCHA protection adds a challenge page before visitors can access specific URLs on your site. It is disabled by default and only applies to the URLs you choose to protect.

How it works

  1. Navigate to Protect Pages > CAPTCHA in the sidebar.
  2. Enter the URL path you want to protect (e.g., /pricing, /data).
  3. Click Protect Page.

Visitors who request a CAPTCHA-protected URL will see a challenge page and must complete it before proceeding to the destination.

Common uses

  • DDoS mitigation: Temporarily set a CAPTCHA on / (the entire site) to filter out bot traffic during an attack. Try HTTP Flood Protection first, and use this as a fallback.
  • Anti-scraping: Protect pages with proprietary data from automated scraping while allowing ordinary users to browse normally.

Important

  • CAPTCHA protection applies at the WAF level, before requests reach your origin server.
  • Removing protection from a page takes effect immediately.
