Cloudflare-enabled websites have had this issue for years.[1] The problem is that website owners are not educated enough to understand that URLs meant for bots should not enable Cloudflare’s bot blocker.

Perhaps a solution would be for Cloudflare to have default page rules that disable bot-blocking features for common RSS feed URLs? Or pop-up a notice with instructions on how to create these page rules to users that appear to have RSS feeds on their website?
