What is Cloudflare?
Cloudflare is a service that sits between your website and the people visiting it,a helpful middle layer that delivers pages faster, protects from harmful traffic, and gives extra ways to manage how the site is shown online.
For EZY.ai, this is useful because it allows important search visibility updates to be handled more easily. EZY can manage key files such as robots.txt (which tells bots what they can access), sitemap.xml (helps search engines discover pages), LLMs.txt and LLMs-full.txt (guide AI systems on interpreting content), and facts.json (structured facts about your business for AI use).
EZY can also improve how pages are understood, track AI system visits, and support content delivery improvements,all without needing full direct access to your website's internal system, making setup simpler and less disruptive. All of this can be done with a simple connection via EZY to generate and upload files through Cloudflare.
When Should You Connect Cloudflare?
You should connect Cloudflare if:
- Your website is already using Cloudflare,this is the fastest and most seamless integration path
- Your site is not on WordPress
- You want automated AEO improvements without touching your codebase
- You want real-time AI agent visit tracking and analytics
How Do You Connect Cloudflare?
Follow the guided 3-step wizard in the CMS Management panel:
- Step 1: Set Up Cloudflare Ensure your domain is added to your Cloudflare account. If you don't have one yet, create a free account and add your domain.
- Step 2: Enable DNS Proxy Enable DNS proxying (orange cloud icon) for your domain so traffic passes through Cloudflare.
- Step 3: Connect Your API Token Provide a Cloudflare API token to EZY.ai. The platform validates your token permissions automatically and warns you if anything is misconfigured. Once connected, EZY deploys a Worker to your Cloudflare zone with zero downtime or DNS disruption.
What If You Are Not on Cloudflare?
No problem. You can set it up easily:
- Create a free Cloudflare account
- Add your domain
- Update your nameservers at your domain registrar to point to Cloudflare
Once done, your site will be routed through Cloudflare, and you can proceed with the EZY.ai connection.
What Does the Cloudflare Worker Actually Do?
EZY does much more than just place files on your site:
- Makes important website files available (robots.txt, sitemap.xml, LLMs.txt, LLMs-full.txt, facts.json) that help search engines and AI systems understand your website
- Improves pages automatically,adds better page descriptions and structured information
- Creates and shows full pages (FAQ pages, blog pages) designed to match your website's look and feel
- Simple workflow: generate on EZY platform, upload directly to Cloudflare
AI Agent Visit Tracking
Every visit through this setup can be analyzed to see if it comes from an AI system. It detects visits from GPTBot (ChatGPT), ClaudeBot, Google-Extended (Gemini), and other AI crawlers. For each visit, it records country, city, region, and timezone. This gives a clear picture of how AI systems are interacting with your website.
Security
Your Cloudflare API token is kept safe,protected before being stored and only accessed when needed. The platform checks that the token has the right permissions and alerts you if it has more access than necessary. Each website connection is handled separately, keeping everything organized and secure.
