Slow down suspicious requests
Define a delay to be used when incoming requests match a rule you consider suspicious based on the bot score.
export default { async fetch(request) { // Define delay const delay_in_seconds = 5; // Introduce a delay await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, delay_in_seconds * 1000), ); // Set delay in milliseconds
// Pass the request to the origin const response = await fetch(request); return response; },};
Configure a custom filter expression:
Field | Operator | Value |
---|---|---|
Bot Score | less than | 10 |
If you are using the Expression Editor, enter the following expression:
(cf.bot_management.score lt 10)
