For those unable to open the link due to owner site being hit by Cloudflare limit, here's a link to web archive - https://web.archive.org/web/20250409082704/https://endler.de...

Off-topic: is the rate-limit because they host on a Cloudflare compute service? I ask because I would like to know if this feature would be available for just using the domain hosting.

That feature exists on cloudflare outside of using CF workers or their own compute stuff. It's part of their WAF featureset.

I don't think it is WAF related, it clearly says:

Looking into it, my hypothesis is that the owners page is SSRd using cloudflare workers and they reached the daily limits.

Looking at the archive.org mirror, the content is 2000 words and a few images. It constantly astounds me how much "compute" people seem to need to serve 10K of text in 50K of HTML.

If your business is selling server side compute to render front end web apps on the back end, you try to convince an entire generation that it's needed.

And a few companies have been very successful in this effort.
