Hacker News Reader

Another thing that annoys me so much is that a lot of websites offer RSS feeds and then their RSS feeds are broken because of cloudflare.

If your feed reader periodically requests a feed, cloudflare starts showing their javascript based checking your browser thingy.

That seems more like a misconfiguration on the site owner's part; if something is designed to be read by bots/programs, they shouldn't put a challenge on it.

Is it covered in the onboarding docs for that feature (a disable for routes used by bots (rss feeds, api endpoints etc) )? Or is it just happy path "Do these 3 steps to make your Wordpress cake blog safe from botnets"
