CDN detected but no application-layer WAF signal

Your site uses a content delivery network (CDN), which speeds up delivery and helps absorb traffic spikes, but no Web Application Firewall (WAF) was detected. A WAF is a separate layer that inspects incoming requests and blocks malicious ones. A CDN alone does not stop attacks targeting your application — things like SQL injection attempts, credential stuffing, or malicious bots. Without a WAF, these requests reach your server and can cause data breaches or downtime. Check your CDN or hosting provider's dashboard for a WAF or "security rules" option — Cloudflare, AWS, and most managed hosts include one. Enable their recommended managed ruleset to get meaningful protection without custom configuration.
