Some issues with proxy tracking last 24 hours. Looks like @cloudflare.social changed something with their managed rules, based on this huge spike in blocks starting ~1:30pm PST yesterday. We're working on figuring out which new rules are the issue so we can disable them.

reCAPTCHA was broken for a few days, as bot attacks made us exceed the free 10K/mo threshold, & somehow there was no billing attached, despite paying for other Google services with same account. Google didn't notify us of any issues, they just shut it off. So that's fixed now.

We're going to release user agent filters very soon, to block AI/bot traffic as you see fit, like you already can with countries etc. We update our global filters weekly, but it keeps getting harder to do that without too many false positives affecting other sites.

There are some new AI bots going insane on the internet, massively inflating views for some of our customers. One pattern we've noticed is most of these sites seem to be sites with "listings", e.g. housing for rent, items for sale, that kind of thing.

We noticed a new kind of "referrer spam" recently, but instead of fake referrer URLs, they're adding fake query parameters to your site's real URLs. Most of them are promoting porn and/or OnlyFans creators. We're hard blocking the ones we know of today, but let us know if see any others.

Does anyone have a contact at Google to address this? We just tested again, and pagespeed is *still* using Chrome 94. Google uses pagespeed to penalize slow sites in search results. This seems extremely sketchy and lazy of them, to allow such an outdated browser to have this kind of impact.
