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
The agent discovered the official self-service signup path from the homepage and followed the 'Start building for free' CTA to the dash.cloudflare.com sign-up URL. Progress stopped at Cloudflare’s security verification page, which prevented reaching the actual signup form. The automated test was then halted by the audit harness rather than proceeding through the bot challenge.

What worked
- The homepage includes a prominent 'Start building for free' call-to-action that leads toward self-service signup.
- Clicking the homepage CTA navigated to Cloudflare’s official sign-up URL on dash.cloudflare.com.
Where it struggled
- The signup route is gated by a security verification page ('Performing security verification') that prevents automated navigation to the signup form.
Recommendations
- Provide a clearly documented, machine-readable or API-based signup endpoint (or an alternate discovery page) that exposes the free/trial signup flow without requiring an interactive anti-bot challenge, so automated integrations and discovery tools can detect the self-service route.
- If interactive bot checks are required, consider offering a human-discovery friendly fallback (for example: a discovery/info page with the signup form fields visible, a link to a developer signup API, or a robots/metadata entry) so non-interactive tools can confirm the existence and basic requirements of the signup flow.
