First we had @x402 then L402... now Pay Per Crawl! Suddenly everyone wants to fix web payments just as agents undermine the economic model of the internet. Timely!

Cloudflare is one of the few companies that could make this happen.

This “pay per crawl” idea is a smart way to let creators benefit from AI interactions! For smaller content sites, how easy is it to set up and manage the monetization rules, and can they customize pricing based on their content value?

Cloudflare continues to impress. Their performance, security, and reliability are unmatched—it's the backbone of every modern web project I build. From CDN to DDoS protection, they just get it right. Huge thanks to the team for making the internet faster and safer
