Task: Starting from the homepage, find the official self-service route for a new customer to begin using the product. Follow the correct signup, free-plan or trial path until the next action would create an account, submit personal information, authorize an external identity provider or initiate payment. Stop before performing that irreversible action.

Agent Conversion Score
Task result
From the homepage the agent found and followed the visible signup CTA to the official registration endpoint, but access to the registration form was blocked by a Cloudflare protection page. The audit reached the registration URL but could not proceed to the account-creation form because the security challenge/page prevented access.

What worked
- The homepage exposes clear sign-up calls to action (e.g., 'Sign up' and 'Get started').
- Clicking the sign-up CTA navigated directly to the official registration endpoint at cloud.digitalocean.com/registrations/new.
Where it struggled
- A Cloudflare protection page blocked access to the registration page content and prevented viewing or interacting with the account-creation form.
Recommendations
- Allow the registration endpoint to be reachable without returning a blocking interstitial for legitimate new-user traffic: tune the security rules or add an allowlist so self-service signups and normal browser/agent access are not blocked.
- Provide an alternative accessible signup landing (for example a simple HTML form or a lightweight challenge flow) that does not rely on an interactive security challenge which can prevent automated testing and legitimate users from reaching the account-creation form.
- If a security challenge is required, surface clear remediation or a non-interactive fallback (for example an email/contact link or an alternate signup URL) so blocked visitors can proceed or report access issues without being stuck on the protection page.
