Cloudflare Configuration for papers.zoo.ngo

Current Issues

The site is experiencing Cloudflare-related console errors:

Cloudflare Beacon Script Errors:
- CORS policy blocking beacon.min.js
- Subresource Integrity (SRI) hash mismatch
Root Cause: Cloudflare automatically injects tracking/analytics scripts when certain features are enabled.

Recommended Cloudflare Settings

To eliminate console errors and improve performance, configure the following in your Cloudflare dashboard for papers.zoo.ngo:

1. Disable Automatic Script Injection

Navigate to: Speed → Optimization

✅ Rocket Loader: OFF (can break inline scripts)
✅ Auto Minify: Use only CSS and HTML (disable JavaScript)

Navigate to: Security → Bots

✅ Browser Integrity Check: Optional (can be ON)
⚠️ Bot Fight Mode: OFF (injects challenge scripts)

Navigate to: Analytics → Web Analytics

✅ Browser Insights: OFF (injects beacon.min.js)
Alternative: Use server-side analytics instead

2. Caching Configuration

Navigate to: Caching → Configuration

✅ Caching Level: Standard
✅ Browser Cache TTL: Respect Existing Headers
✅ Always Online: ON (good for static sites)

3. Page Rules (Optional Performance Boost)

Create a page rule for papers.zoo.ngo/*:

✅ Cache Level: Cache Everything
✅ Edge Cache TTL: 1 month (2592000 seconds)
✅ Browser Cache TTL: 1 day (86400 seconds)

4. SSL/TLS Settings

Navigate to: SSL/TLS → Overview

✅ SSL/TLS encryption mode: Full (strict)
✅ Always Use HTTPS: ON
✅ Minimum TLS Version: TLS 1.2

5. DNS Settings

Ensure DNS record for papers.zoo.ngo:

✅ Type: CNAME or A record
✅ Proxied: Orange cloud (proxied through Cloudflare)
✅ TTL: Auto

Testing After Changes

Clear Cloudflare cache: Caching → Configuration → Purge Everything
Hard refresh browser: Cmd+Shift+R (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+R (Windows/Linux)
Open DevTools console and verify no errors

Alternative: Disable Cloudflare Proxy (Not Recommended)

If you want to completely avoid Cloudflare script injection:

In DNS settings, click the orange cloud to make it gray (DNS only)
This disables all Cloudflare features (caching, security, etc.)
Not recommended - you lose CDN benefits
