Enabling and disabling Cloudflare “I’m Under Attack” mode
Cloudflare’s “I’m Under Attack” mode is designed to protect your website during DDoS attacks or suspicious traffic spikes by adding an extra verification step for visitors. Below you’ll find the full procedure to enable it and, once the emergency is over, disable it by restoring a security level better suited for everyday use.

Enabling “I’m Under Attack” mode

Disabling emergency mode and restoring the security level
After the DDoS attack or security emergency has ended, it’s recommended to return the site to a standard profile to avoid overly strict checks and possible slowdowns for legitimate users.
- Restore the level: in the Security Level field, switch back to Medium (recommended for daily use) or Low.
- Confirm: click Save Changes to make the changes effective.
