What is Cloudflare?
Cloudflare is a service that sits between your website and the people visiting it. You can think of it as a helpful middle layer: when someone tries to open your site, Cloudflare helps deliver the page faster, protects the site from harmful traffic, and gives extra ways to manage how the site is shown online.
For EZY.ai, this is especially 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 are allowed or not allowed to access on your website), sitemap.xml (which helps search engines discover your pages), LLMs.txt and LLMs-full.txt (which guide AI systems on how to interpret your content), and facts.json (which provides structured facts about your business for AI use).
EZY can also improve how your pages are understood, track when AI agents visit your site, and support content delivery improvements, all without needing full direct access to your website's internal system, which makes 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:
How Do You Connect Cloudflare?
Step 1: Go to the Integrations page in EZY and click on Cloudflare.
Step 2: Press Connect a domain.
Step 3: If you do not have a Cloudflare account yet, click on Go to Cloudflare.
Step 4: Create a Cloudflare account and verify your email.
Step 5: Press Add a domain, enter the domain you want to connect to EZY, and press Continue.
Step 6: Go to your domain registrar and update your nameservers to point to Cloudflare. Then, in Cloudflare, enable DNS proxying (the orange cloud icon) for the relevant DNS records so your website traffic passes through Cloudflare.
Step 7: Go back to EZY and press Skip to Connect API Token.
Step 8: Press "Don't have a token? Create one on Cloudflare".
Step 9: In Cloudflare, press Create a Token.
Step 10: Press Get Started on the Create Custom Token option.
Step 11: Fill in the token form with the permissions shown below.
Step 12: Press Continue to Summary and then Create Token.
Step 13: Go back to EZY and paste the token into the field provided.
Step 14: Finally, press Validate Token and you're connected!
What Does the Cloudflare Worker Actually Do?
This is where it becomes especially useful. EZY does much more than just place a few files on your site. It can support your website in several ways, all without needing complex setup or technical work.
File management: It makes important website files available quickly and reliably: robots.txt, sitemap.xml, LLMs.txt, LLMs-full.txt, and facts.json. These help search engines and AI systems understand your website better and find your pages more easily.
Automatic page improvements: It can improve your pages automatically as people open them, adding better page descriptions and structured information (Schema) that help search engines and AI tools understand what each page is about. This improves your visibility without needing you to edit each page manually.
Full page creation: It can create and show full pages for you, like FAQ pages or blog pages, designed to match your website's look and feel. These pages blend in with your existing design, using similar colors and styles.
The key advantage is how easy it is. On the EZY platform, you simply click to generate what you need and upload it directly to Cloudflare. There's no need to deal with complicated setup. Everything is handled in a smooth, simple way.
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, useful information is recorded: country, city, region, and timezone. This gives you a clear picture of how AI systems are interacting with your website, so you can see when and how AI tools are accessing your content and improve your AEO visibility over time.
Security
Your Cloudflare API token is kept safe and secure at all times. It is protected before being stored and only accessed when needed to carry out actions on your website.
When you connect it, the platform checks that the token has the right permissions and will alert you if it has more access than necessary, so you stay in control.
Each website connection is handled separately, which means everything stays organized and secure, even if you manage multiple sites. This ensures your data and access remain safe and properly separated.
