Hello I have added hereunder to prevent bots on my contact page. Is there a way where I can allow search engines such as Google to index the page ?

In WAF Rules :
URI Full > Equals > https://boudoirphotography.mu/contact
Then take action: JS Challenge

Add…

AND
Verified bot category - does not equal - Search Engine Crawler

Many thanks,

added that and then cleared cache but still same error with Google Search Console:

Check your security event log to find out why the Google requests are being blocked…
https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/:zone/security/events

Do you mean Security > Analytics > Sampled logs ?

If yes, I can’t find anything related to that link there.

I have tried both :

(http.request.full_uri eq "https://boudoirphotography.mu/booking" and not cf.verified_bot_category in {"Search Engine Crawler"})

(http.request.full_uri eq "https://boudoirphotography.mu/booking" and cf.verified_bot_category ne "Search Engine Crawler")

But won’t work.

However this will work :

(http.request.full_uri eq "https://boudoirphotography.mu/booking" and cf.verified_bot_category in {"Search Engine Crawler"})

But I guess here, all bots will be allowed.

It probably needs to be https://boudoirphotography.mu/booking/, or change equal to starts with.

I have tried both.

Actually https://boudoirphotography.mu/booking/ won’t work since my URL down not contain the backslash.

Starting with “equal” Google will give the error again
