Optimize is Now a Cloudflare Verified Bot

The Optimize web crawler has been officially added to the Cloudflare list of Verified Bots.

As a verified bot, our crawler can now scan Cloudflare-hosted websites without the need to adhere to the restrictions and rate limits that typically apply to non-verified bots. This results in smoother, more reliable scans with fewer issues related to blocked or throttled traffic.

🔹 No action is required by Cloudflare customers. This improvement is automatically applied.
