What to verify before acting on Cloudflare evidence
- Cloudflare edge headers describe the proxy layer, not the origin application or framework.
- Some Cloudflare features (Turnstile, Workers) may not be visible on a single page scan.
Next workflow
- Run the Cloudflare detector to confirm cf-ray and server-header evidence.
- Check Turnstile and other bot-protection signals if forms are present.
- Review security-header posture for the Cloudflare-served response.
