What is the difference between "Challenge" & "JS Challenge"?

Website, Application, Performance Security

It seems like an obvious question, but I’m new and there is no info anywhere on the actual differences?

I’ve been setting rate limiting up but I’m unsure what the available actions are and which ones I should I use?

Challenge is a CAPTCHA the user needs to complete. JS Challenge is JavaScript processing your browser does that takes about 5 seconds and then Cloudflare will let you in.

So is there one that is more secure? The JS Challenge sounds like the best option for UX if it’s as secure?

Is the JS Challenge also checking user is human during that 5 second delay or is it simply just a delay. I don’t understand what is happening in the JS Challenge?

CAPTCHA is more bot-proof, but more irritating. It’s a more extreme solution, so you’ll have to weigh the benefits and necessity for your particular situation.

Ok, but what actually is this “JS Challenge” about?
