Cloudflare edge defense

Stop the attack at the edge, before it reaches you. Bot, fraud, and abuse filtering at the Cloudflare edge for Naples business websites and APIs.

RankShield defends your websites and APIs at the Cloudflare edge. An enforce-mode worker runs in front of your origin and drops automated bots, click fraud, credential stuffing, and API abuse before they ever touch your servers — tuned to your business and fed by the RankShield Network's cross-surface intelligence. Every edge decision is part of the same verifiable platform protecting your devices and AI, so you can verify what was blocked.

The threat at the edge

Why filter at the edge instead of the origin?

Because by the time malicious traffic reaches your origin server, it has already cost you — capacity, fraud exposure, skewed analytics, poisoned SEO. The edge is the first place you can see and stop it. RankShield runs at the Cloudflare edge, the layer closest to the attacker, so bots and abuse are dropped at the door. For Naples businesses whose leads and bookings depend on their website ranking and staying up, that front line matters.

CTR / SEO ATTACKS

Automated bots hammer your search listings and pages to fake or poison engagement, dragging your local Naples rankings down where competitors take the calls.

The edge worker fingerprints and filters fraudulent traffic before it skews your metrics — protecting the rankings your local leads depend on.

CARD & CREDENTIAL ABUSE

Attackers test stolen cards on your checkout or stuff stolen credentials against your login at machine speed.

Abusive request patterns are throttled and blocked at the edge, before they reach payment or auth on your origin.

API & SCRAPING ABUSE

Your public APIs and content are scraped or hammered, inflating costs and exposing data you meant to meter.

Edge policy meters and gates API traffic, dropping abuse while real clients pass through cleanly.

How it deploys

One DNS change. Your hosting stays put.

You don't rebuild anything. Your domain routes through Cloudflare, RankShield's edge worker runs in front of your existing site and APIs, and filtering goes live in enforce mode — tuned so legitimate Naples customers never notice and abuse never lands. Because the edge is just another surface of the RankShield Network, its decisions stay consistent with the platform protecting your enterprise fleet and AI. See the full coverage map →

Questions

Edge defense — common questions

What does edge defense actually stop?
It filters malicious and abusive traffic at the Cloudflare edge — automated bots, click fraud and fake-engagement attacks on your rankings, credential-stuffing and card-testing, scraping, and API abuse — before any of it reaches your origin servers. Legitimate Naples customers pass through; the junk is dropped at the edge.
Do I have to move my website to Cloudflare?
Your domain needs to route through Cloudflare (a DNS change), but you keep your existing hosting and origin. RankShield's edge worker runs in front of your site and APIs; nothing about your application has to be rebuilt.
How is this different from standard Cloudflare?
Cloudflare gives you the edge network; RankShield adds a verifiable security layer on top — enforce-mode filtering tuned to your business, fed by the RankShield Network's cross-surface intelligence, with every decision consistent with the same platform protecting your devices and AI. It's defense that's part of one verifiable whole, not an isolated WAF rule.
