Browser Integrity Check
Cloudflare's Browser Integrity Check (BIC) looks for common HTTP headers abused most commonly by spammers and denies access to your page.
It also challenges visitors without a user agent or with a non-standard user agent such as commonly used by abusive bots, crawlers, or visitors.
Browser Integrity Check is enabled by default.
To disable BIC globally for your zone:
- Log into the Cloudflare dashboard ↗.
 - Select your account and zone.
 - Go to Security > Settings.
 - Turn off Browser Integrity Check.
 
- 
In the Cloudflare dashboard, go to the Security Settings page.
Go to Settings - 
(Optional) Filter by DDoS attacks.
 - 
Turn off Browser integrity check.
 
To disable BIC selectively, you can skip Browser Integrity Check using a custom rule with a skip action.
Also, use a configuration rule to selectively enable or disable this feature for certain sections of your website using a filter expression (such as a matching hostname or request URL path).
