Cloudflare verification checks - Leave feedback! We can probably get them fixed
-
If you ever get those "Cloudflare - Verifying" checks on various websites that never end, and prevent the page from loading, there's a way to leave them feedback.
On the Switch, keep dragging the page around, or holding and releasing A while trying to drag around with the joystick (as if you were scrolling), until a little clickable "Leave feedback?" link appears in the Cloudflare box.
When the feedback window pops up, check off that the box that says it's looping or slow, and enter some message in the box describing how it's broken. Make sure to check the "Send additional diagnostics" box before submitting.
There are typically hundreds of users on the DNS browser at once, if everyone does this every time they encounter a Cloudflare page, Cloudflare might actually update the verification and fix the check.

Will do! i hate the cloudflare checks, they have made some of my favorite sites unusable.

Also to add: The reason that the page needs to be interacted with a few times to submit feedback is because the Cloudflare verification check looks at actions like cursor movements to determine if your device is a bot or not.
So by submitting this data they should be able to see "oh, these kinds of controller movements with this user agent are legitimate users" and update their check accordingly.

On the Cloudflare panel when you're looking at a Switch users information that has visited your page, i'm sure it says that the users information is "Apple Webkit on Unknown", that is another reason why you're getting flagged. So maybe they would fix that too if you give feedback.

This still works! I got a cloudflare error on neal.fun's Size of Life page. You wait around a bit for the "Stuck? Troubleshoot" link to appear, and can submit feedback that way. The more people submit feedback, the more likely these checks will succeed.
Also if you keep dragging around the cursor with the joystick and staying on the page, while holding A, making circles and stuff, it will also eventually lets you through to the target page. I think it is more about making the inputs "seem human" since otherwise a lack of mouse input makes it seem like a robot is on the page.
