Cloudflare’s AI-training block can also stop Googlebot after September 15
daluoseo · x · 2026-07-27
A post warns that Cloudflare may end up blocking Googlebot after September 15 if the site owner enables Cloudflare’s “Block AI training” setting.
The explanation is that Cloudflare treats Googlebot as doing both search and training-related crawling, so turning on the AI-training block can cause Googlebot to be blocked as well. The practical advice: check your Cloudflare settings now if you rely on Google indexing.
