## Content encoding support for Markdown for Agents and other improvements

Feb 16, 2026 

[ Cloudflare Fundamentals ](https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/) 

When AI systems request pages from any website that uses Cloudflare and has [Markdown for Agents](https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/reference/markdown-for-agents/) enabled, they can express the preference for `text/markdown` in the request: our network will automatically and efficiently convert the HTML to markdown, when possible, on the fly.

This release adds the following improvements:

* The origin response limit was raised from 1 MB to 2 MB (2,097,152 bytes).
* We no longer require the origin to send the `content-length` header.
* We now support content encoded responses from the origin.

If you haven’t enabled automatic Markdown conversion yet, visit the [AI Crawl Control ↗](https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/:zone/ai) section of the Cloudflare dashboard and enable **Markdown for Agents**.

Refer to our [developer documentation](https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/reference/markdown-for-agents/) for more details.
