Bot Detection.Which anti-bot guards that site?
Identify the bot-management vendor protecting any site — DataDome, HUMAN, Kasada, Cloudflare Bot Management, Imperva and more — detected from response headers, cookies and challenge behaviour. Passive and non-intrusive.
Bot Detection in four questions.
DataDome, HUMAN, Kasada, Cloudflare or Akamai Bot Management and more: identified from response signatures, cookies and challenge behavior.
How the edge treats ordinary requests: challenges, cookies, header rewrites, and what that costs in latency.
Every fingerprint that fired, so a security team can verify the identification independently.
Security layers are delivery layers; the report notes what the detected stack typically adds to response times.
How it works.
A transparent look at exactly what the tool checks, and how it reaches its answer.
WAF products leave consistent fingerprints in headers, cookies and block-page markup; we match them against a maintained library.
CoreBot-management vendors drop tell-tale cookies and headers — datadome, _px3, _abck, __cf_bm, x-kpsdk — matched against a maintained signature set.
CoreA plain, harmless request reveals block or challenge pages (including Kasada’s bare 429) that identify active bot protection. No attack or exploit traffic is ever sent.
PrincipleDetection reads response headers and cookies only; protection that runs solely in JavaScript or on login/checkout paths is reported as such rather than missed silently.

The product or service in front, with confidence scoring.

IncludedWho it’s for.
Know what actually protects a property you’re acquiring, auditing or integrating with.
Confirm the WAF you pay for is the WAF that answers, misrouted zones are more common than anyone admits.
Mapping WAFs across an estate is step one of collapsing three security vendors into one.
See which security edges your market actually deploys, not which ones sponsor conferences.
Free and live now, in beta.
The toolkit automates the detection and benchmark data behind the assessments we already run, the tools are how we prove the data is good.
Every tool ships free with shareable reports; the business model is the advisory behind it, not your email address.
Available free is live now in public beta — free to run, refined as we expand coverage.
Want the answer before the tool exists? A free assessment runs the same analysis, human-graded, usually within 24 hours, and gives you a benchmark against pooled volume pricing.

Bot Detection questions,
answered straight.
Is Bot Detection live?
It’s live in public beta as part of the CDN World toolkit; the tools page are free to run with no signup.
Is this a security scanner?
No, and deliberately so. It sends only ordinary, benign requests and identifies the protection layer from passive fingerprints. It never sends attack payloads, probes for vulnerabilities, or does anything a production site would register as hostile.
Which products can it identify?
The launch library targets the dedicated bot-management vendors we meet most in assessments — DataDome, HUMAN (PerimeterX), Kasada, Cloudflare Bot Management, Akamai Bot Manager, Imperva and more — and it will grow the way our CDN signature library did.
Can bot protection hide from it?
Some vendors only reveal themselves on protected paths or via JavaScript challenges our passive check can’t see, so the report says so honestly — a low-confidence result with the evidence shown beats a confident guess.
Why does a CDN advisory build a bot tool?
Because on modern stacks bot management rides on the same edge as delivery — often one buying decision — and you can’t advise on cost or performance without seeing what’s filtering traffic in front of the origin.
