    I’m dealing with the same issue right now. I run a local service site — https://locksmithvineland.com
    — and for us, being discoverable through AI tools is actually important, not something we want to block.

    Most of our content is informational (services, guides, FAQs), and it would really help if platforms like ChatGPT or Gemini could access and reference it when users are searching for solutions. Right now, Cloudflare’s default blocking makes that difficult.

    I get the need for protection against abusive scraping, but there should definitely be an option to opt in for trusted AI crawlers. Even something simple like a toggle or allowlist would make a big difference.

    Hope Cloudflare considers adding more flexibility here.

    Yes, this is a common issue when using Cloudways + Cloudflare + Varnish + Breeze together, especially on sites that frequently update PDFs or page content. For example, your site https://www.suraahyaseenpdf.com
    may be affected by this.

    Here are some suggestions to ensure updates appear instantly:

    Breeze Settings (Cloudways Plugin):

    Enable “Auto Purge” for pages/posts when updated.

    Consider excluding PDFs or frequently updated pages from caching so they always load fresh.

    Varnish Cache:

    Varnish caches pages aggressively by default.

    You can set Varnish rules to bypass cache for certain URLs or file types (like PDFs).

    Use the “Purge on Update” feature so changes automatically clear the cache.

    Cloudflare Configuration:

    Use Page Rules for frequently updated URLs or PDF directories:

    Cache Level: Bypass or Standard

    Edge Cache TTL: Respect Origin Headers

    Optionally, enable Automatic Cache Purge via API when content is updated.

    Workflow Tip:

    Combine these: let Breeze handle local cache, Varnish handle dynamic caching, and Cloudflare cache selectively.

    Avoid full-page caching for pages that change often.

    Summary:

    Exclude PDFs or frequently updated pages from caching if possible.

    Enable auto-purge on content updates in Breeze and Varnish.

    Configure Cloudflare Page Rules to bypass cache for paths that update often.

    This setup usually ensures that users see the latest content without needing to manually purge caches.
