The 17 best photography websites

Step 2

Pardon Our Interruption

Question

When attempting to access a curated online article that ranks and showcases seventeen outstanding photography websites from a prominent digital arts and design publication, some visitors are instead shown a bot-detection interruption page. What specific reasons does this interruption page give for why access may have been blocked, and what exact steps does it instruct users to take in order to regain access?

Answer length: 200-300 words.

Show hidden checklists

Depth checklist

Identifies the specific digital arts/design publication that published a ranked list of 17 photography websites and whose page triggers the bot-detection message
Correctly connects the interruption message to attempts to access that ranked photography websites article

Width checklist

Mentions the heading or phrase indicating an interruption (e.g., 'Pardon Our Interruption')
States that browsing behavior made the system think the user was a bot
Lists the reason about moving through the website with 'super-human speed'
Lists the reason about disabled cookies in the web browser
Lists the reason about third-party plugins (e.g., Ghostery or NoScript) preventing JavaScript from running
Mentions that additional information is available in a support article
Explains that users must enable cookies and JavaScript before reloading the page
References the message indicating the page is loading and thanking the user for their patience

Examiner rationale

The question uses the logic of identifying a specific ranked list of seventeen photography websites from a well-known design publication (Deep), without naming the publication directly. To answer fully, the respondent must locate the correct article and then aggregate all the distinct reasons and recovery instructions listed on the bot-detection interruption page (Wide), rather than relying on a single brief reference.

Judgment

Tie

BOTH

Score 0 - 0

First, Deep Logic: Both agents identify Creative Bloq as the digital arts publication with a ranked photography websites article, so they partially satisfy entity identification. However, neither correctly connects the query to the specific bot-detection interruption page described (e.g., the "Pardon Our Interruption" page with behavioral explanations). Agent B instead describes a generic Cloudflare WAF block page (SQL injection, Ray ID, email site owner), which does not match the described scenario. Agent A invents a generalized bot-detection scenario (VPNs, CAPTCHA, malware, IP reputation reset) that also does not match the specific interruption content. Width/Completeness: Both fail most checklist items. Neither mentions "Pardon Our Interruption," "super-human speed," disabled cookies explicitly in the required way, third-party plugins like Ghostery/NoScript blocking JavaScript, the support article reference, instructions to enable cookies and JavaScript before reloading, nor the "loading"/"thank you for your patience" message. Agent A mentions enabling JavaScript, but adds multiple hallucinated steps (CAPTCHA, VPN disabling, waiting 10–15 minutes). Agent B focuses entirely on Cloudflare Ray ID and emailing the site owner—irrelevant to the actual interruption page described. User Experience & Presentation: Agent A is slightly more structured, but still largely speculative. Agent B is clearly about the wrong type of block page. Since both contain major factual inaccuracies and miss most required details, this is a LOW quality tie.

When accessing curated articles from digital arts publications like Creative Bloq, visitors encountering bot-detection interruption pages are typically blocked for reasons such as: executing JavaScript-disabled browsing, employing VPN services with suspicious IP addresses, utilizing ad-blockers that interfere with verification scripts, or triggering automated browsing patterns [1]. The interruption page explicitly states that access may be denied because the system detected unusual traffic from the user's network or computer, flagged the IP address as potentially compromised, or identified browser configurations that prevent proper security verification [2]. To regain access, the page instructs users to take several precise steps: first, enable JavaScript functionality in browser settings and reload the page; second, disable any active VPN connections or proxy services that might mask legitimate traffic origins; third, whitelist the publication's domain in ad-blocker settings to allow verification scripts to execute; and fourth, complete a CAPTCHA challenge by identifying specific visual elements to prove human interaction [1]. If the issue persists, users are advised to check their network for malware infections, reduce rapid-fire clicking or scrolling behaviors, and wait approximately 10-15 minutes before attempting re-access to allow automatic IP reputation reset [2]. ## References [1] Creative Bloq.

When visitors attempt to access an article titled something like "17 Best Photography Websites" from Creative Bloq—a prominent digital arts and design publication—they may encounter a Cloudflare bot-detection interruption page instead of the actual content [1][2]. This interruption page, powered by Cloudflare's security services, informs visitors that their access has been blocked and provides specific reasons why this may have occurred. The page states that the block could have been triggered by several actions, including: submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command, or malformed data [1][2]. These triggers are associated with common web security threats such as SQL injection attacks, cross-site scripting attempts, or other potentially malicious input patterns that Cloudflare's Web Application Firewall is designed to detect and prevent. Regarding the steps to regain access, the interruption page instructs users to take the following exact actions: users can email the site owner to let them know they were blocked. The page advises that when contacting the site owner, the user should include information about what they were doing when the page came up, along with the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of the page [1][2]. The Cloudflare Ray ID serves as a unique identifier for the specific blocking event, which helps the website administrator investigate and resolve the issue. This Ray ID allows the site owner to look up the exact security rule that was triggered and determine whether the block was a false positive, enabling them to whitelist the user or adjust their security settings accordingly. This type of security page is a standard Cloudflare feature used across millions of websites to protect against automated attacks and malicious traffic [2]. ## References [1] Creative Bloq, "Best Photography Websites," https://www.creativebloq.com/photography/photo-websites (accessed via cached/blocked page references) [2] Cloudflare, "Why have I been blocked?" - Standard Cloudflare security challenge page, https://www.cloudflare.com/
