AppPlatform Email protection performance issue

Posted on October 19, 2021

Hi,

AppPlatform use under the hood Cloudflare to protect from data scrapping. I’m encountering performance issue on a web application requesting a large list containing emails. It’s possible to disable this protection on a specific path ?

Thanks

Hi @FloatingElectricBlueYacht,

Per Cloudflare’s documentation on email obfuscation there are two ways to disable the feature:

  • Add the following comment in the page HTML code: <!--email_off-->your email addresses go here<!--/email_off-->
  • Return email addresses in JSON format for AJAX calls, making sure your web server returns a content type of “application/json”.

Unfortunately at this time it’s not possible to disable it for an entire path or app.

Hi there,

Quick update here in case that it helps, App Platform edge controls are now generally available, giving you more control over your app’s CDN and security behavior. The new features include email obfuscation, enhanced threat control to help mitigate layer 7 DDoS attacks, and CDN cache controls for fine-tuning content delivery.

You can find full configuration details here: https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/app-platform/how-to/configure-edge-settings/
