Couldn't find anything - not in Cloudflare WAF logs or in server logs. Contacted both Bing, and Cloudflare support. However, I host several websites with the same Cloudflare setup, and the same hosting provider, yet only one domain is affected (with more than one website). That's why I think this is a Bing-induced problem…
-
I see you point. Howerver, as far as I can tell, technically, a provider can give an 96% discount for the first month to be within the price range and post offers - but you pay the regular price afterwards. Not a perfect scenario for idlers (correct me if I'm wrong - I know that for some use cases people spin up a Hetzner…
-
I believe it’s possible that some of those rules get auto-disabled if you install WooCommerce - because my webshop wasn’t affected by the problem.
-
Solved the WordPress widget update problem with Cloudflare Pro firewall! :) TL/DR: In addition to disabling the “Cloudflare Specials” firewall rules, I had to set the OWASP Sensitivity to “Off” – temporarily, in order to update the widgets. Security -> WAF -> Managed rules -> Package: OWASP ModSecurity Core Rule Set ->…
-
Thanks. As expected, there's a browser extension for that too. :) Doesn't fly - not with WordPress, in a shared hosting environment, with a properly configured (and "enforced") https connection. Worth a shot though - good idea.
-
How do I do that with WordPress - or any site on a shared hosting server for that matter?
-
Rocket loader is disabled. Cache is one of the main reasons for using the Pro service. Disabling it beats the point. I can temporarily disable proxy though, and don't edit widgets on a daily (even monthly) basis, so that's one workaround.
-
Likewise. Thid so - and it did show blocked AdSense scripts. However, removing AdSense doesn't solve the problem. It does from time to time - for a very short period. Very strange. Couldn't find any blocking shown in Cloudflare's console though.
-
I have superbot disabled. Site Scan doesn't work on both affected and unaffected websites. :) Go figure... Relayed all the info to Bing's support.
-
No. But a good call - that's what CF support first asked. Not all the CF sites are affected - though all used the same CF setup. Only one domain. So it may not be CF-related at all. Though one can never be certain - too many stuff in stack, relying on each other. I'm surprised it ever works at all in the first place. :)
-
Talking about scenarios 1 and 2? Or all 3? The current setup is chaos. Reply-to for different branches uses a mixture of differnt domains, gmail, even yahoo. And it's a hassle for me (which I don't minde since it's a one-time work to get it fixed) - and for the users to change it (which could be more of a problem).
-
Same experience - and it is annoying that Gmail email-pull thing. As far as I can tell, when you hit the refresh from Gmail's interface (not the browser page refresh), it treats it as: "Refresh Gmail, and consider refreshing other POP3 stuff." When you click on the alias label and then hit refresh, it treats it as:…

I think @MichaelCee offers lower prices for a bit less storage space (irrelevant if you connect your Gmail and configure it to take all the emails). It should end up cheaper on a monthly/yearly basis. The offer: https://lowendspirit.com/discussion/4346/launching-onepoundemail-co-uk-to-sell-directadmin-email-hosting…
-
If you bought MXroute lifetime - it's the best fit for your use (if I understand it correctly). MichaelCee gives you a lower price with a monthly fee - and more hand-holding support - using the same infrastructure. If you use Gmail integration, no email migration is needed (Gmail will POP3 all the emails).
-
I've used this situation to check out some Google alternatives. Made a list of search engines that use Bing (Bing copies basically), followed by a list of search engines that seem to be independent. Bing is still "working on this and keeping me informed." :)
-
I think this could be easily faked The “real” source I mean. Google can only be more “tolerant” to spam from CF IPs. Which may get abused… Spamers (“email marketing”) have ruined the game.
-
Any chance of PM sending the results link, to see the headers and other stuff? Would PM the analysis, you chose what to share. Edit: I’d love to be wrong on this. :)
-
And, thanks to spam and abuse, it is a problematic one, again - in my opinion and experience. Would have to google for a third source. Also - you will probably test it and know in the following months - that’s most reliable info. Edit: I’m worried more about the domain. CF is huge. They will be fine.
-
Correct me if I'm wrong - might as well be (btw, I'm really interested in looking at a link to a mail-tester results for an outbound email using your setup - if that's OK via a PM - for spam-prevention): Cloudflare forwards your emails to gmail, with your domain configured as the origin one, using CF's IP of course? It is…
-
Direct pull (or IMAP push) is better than forwarding, at least in my opinion. More reliable deliverability. Also, if you mark an email as spam, you'll be marking your own domain as a spammy one, not the domain that sent the original email to you.
-
I can see some downsides to this setup: 1) The inbound emails get forwarded to Gmail. I think it's safer to use any decent shared hosting and configure Gmail to POP3 import emails from it. Or, even better, use an MXroute lifetime. :) 2) You noted this problem in the article. Gmail used as a sending domain, for your own…
-
Yup. Roughly 5 - 10 % traffic from those combined (about 70 - 80 % from Google). Still, it's strange - and it sucks.
-
Zero spam. No email marketing. Only paxing customer notifications.
-
Hmm, I think my contents are indexed (according to Bing's dashboard and previous SERPs), it's just removed from SERP as of recently.
-
Or something in between the two extremes - by adjusting the max. limits, without removing them?
-
That's a bit black-and-white point of view. I'm sure they ban (at least some) spammers and trolls - should we stop doing so? My reference to their price limit was in terms of "another budget / low-end forum" comparison. Likewise, my suggestion is to go even higher, not to copy them. And, again - primarily from the…

Incomes didn’t rise over the past few years for most folks in my country. People usually look for a bike at up to €200. And I try to recommend the best for the given budget (often used / 2nd hand). However, the quality at that budget has drastically decreased since before “the flu.” It is tough. :(
-
That would beat the point of all my life choices to a great degree. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhUUTvgjUFQ
-
Your email price limit comment in the thread about the new service/offer is one of the things that got me thinking (not that I'm exceptionally good at it :) ).
-
LES offer limits LET offer limits
-
Yup - it adds up pretty quickly. Though, technically, it's per a domain. I tested with 6 live and a few test-sites, all with just one subscription (subdomains). But I don't think it makes sense if a website (at least one on the domain) isn't making money to cover the cost.

Redis is unsafe to use in a shared/reseller hosting environment, unless the provider manages to isolate each Redis instance, for each customer/DA account. I hope cPanel/DA/CloudLinux guys write a cPanel/DA plugin that makes spinning up dedicated Redits instances available. Memcached is not as good, but still better than…
-
You'd see even a bit slower load times on average, for most use cases. I like CF for the ease of DNS change replication, extra security layer, and averaging page-load times across the globe (a bit slower for those near the server, a lot faster for those far away).
-
Not much experience with them (apart from being Amazon affiliate associate - that experience sucks from the customer support perspective). On the positive side: it's a challenge. It's interesting. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UePtoxDhJSw
-
Yup - if I understood correctly, Sendy + Amazon SES should get the job done. Don't really mind (the client) paying more, but so far I mostly got ghosted when enquiring mail service providers about this. It probably smells like SPAM for miles away. Can't really blame them. EDIT: The current solution requires the application…
