When your site is behind Cloudflare, they block many requests to your site. The lock in the browser can be lies. Cloudflare is decrypting that content - and if the site owner hasn&amp;#x27;t setup TLS between Cloudflare and the backend, it&amp;#x27;s being re-transmitted over the internet unencrypted. On paid plans, Cloudflare will compress images and swap in their version. Cloudflare will compress an uncompressed response before returning it. Cloudflare will take the HTML returned by your backend and obfuscate any email addresses in that HTML before sending it along to the browser.&lt;p&gt;Your server returns a page with evil-polyfill&amp;#x2F;bad.js and Cloudflare inspects the HTML and rewrites it to say good-polyfill&amp;#x2F;good.js&lt;p&gt;You might not want this behavior and you can shut it off in Cloudflare, but it seems like a reasonable default given that customers have signed up for a product meant to protect them against attacks. Cloudflare has never been about passing back the raw HTML it receives from the backend or passing along the raw requests it receives from browsers.</text><parent_chain><item><author>politelemon</author><text>I totally get the intention behind this and the final outcome is definitely a safer internet.
