Cloudflare Opens Self-Service Dashboard For Bots Seeking Verified Status
BotBase now shows submission status, lets operators edit or cancel entries, and runs IP, DNS and signature checks automatically.
- Bot submissions to Cloudflare have jumped roughly sevenfold since 2023, the company reports.
- Operators must declare bot behavior, content use under Cloudflare's Content Signals model, and operator type.
- New checks verify submissions via IP lists, reverse DNS records, or Web Bot Auth signatures.
Why it matters: Cloudflare carries much of the world's web traffic and now decides which bots count as legitimate.
