For most small and mid-sized websites, it is something more practical: a reason to finally define how AI crawlers should access your content.</p> <p>AI crawlers fetch product pages, guides, comparisons, FAQs and documentation. Some may help discovery through AI search and answer engines. Others consume resources or reuse your work in environments that send little or no referral traffic back. Cloudflare’s idea introduces a third path between “leave everything open” and “block everything”: allow, block or — in selected cases — require payment.</p>
