Disclosure, I've not run a website since my health issues began, however, Cloudflare has an AI firewall, Cloudflare is super cheap (also: unsure if the AI firewall is on the free tier, however I would be surprised if it is not). Ignoring the recent drama about a couple incidents they've had (because this would not matter for a personal blog), why not use this instead?
Just curious. Hoping to be able to work on a website again someday, if I ever regain my health/stamina/etc back.
My main terminal uses a PiHole with 120,000+ blacklist rules (not Cloudfare specifically — I allow most CDN's). This includes an entire blackout of Google/Facebook products, as well as most tracking/analytics services.
For example, I do not allow reCAPTCHA.
As a similar commentor noted, when just casually browsing I don't really have any desire to try hard to read random content. Should I absolutely need to access some information garden-walled behind Cloudfare: I have another computer that uses much less restrictive black-listing.
Not OP but it isn't super extreme if you are just surfing, it's like if the site is slow to load sometimes I wasn't that invested to use your site anyway
