What is your position regarding Cloudflare's reCAPTCHA challenge feature I
mentioned earlier? Here are pros and cons of the feature:
Why on earth would we want to make it harder for people to read the
website?
Pros:
• You can assure that (almost) all visitors are legitimate (human), since
they must pass the challenge.
Why do you think that's a feature we care about?
In fact, several websites (such as Capezio <capezio.com>, ProMods Map
<promods.net>, and WHEELS.ca <wheels.ca>) have reCAPTCHA challenge
enabled. Those sites just want to make sure that all visitors are
humans. Feel free to visit those sites above for your consideration.

Because the website with reCAPTCHA challenge feature may violate "secure
it without overdoing it" principle, that is, their webmasters tighten
website security so much as to make their website harder to access.
