I do not believe that this is directly related to the plugin, but I am looking for some kind of advice. On all sites delivering content from Cloudflare (mainly Medium articles), I am getting a card, which says "Attention Required! | Cloudflare":

I read a bit, and this might mean that my blog's IP address has been blacklisted or something, but I do not understand why. It is just a personal WP blog with tutorials and personal tips, nothing else.

@preslavrachev It depends on the security settings that the site in question has configured in Cloudflare, there are several options ranging from almost no blocking to requiring JavaScript before being able to visit the site.

I agree that this is potentially a big problem because of the sheer amount of sites running on CF. This problem would also affect features like trackbacks, pingbacks and even Facebook / Twitter crawlers (although I suspect CF has whitelists in place for these sites.) I don't have a solution for this though. Perhaps we can detect the Cloudflare prompt and queue a refresh of the metadata at a later time (if this is related to rate limiting.)

Some problem here with a blog I just started.
So you say it's an IP limit ? I should be because I'm on a shared web hosting offer
