 * Cloudflare is whitelisted by default.
 * So if you’re noticing it getting blocked, it could be an issue. First check the
   setting “Whitelisted Bots” and verify that `cloudflare` is listed. Also another
   reminder that Blackhole is not yet compatible with page cache plugins.
 * And of course you can test to make sure the plugin is working properly. Visit
   the Installation tab on the plugin home page for testing and other information.
   Let me know if any further questions, glad to help anytime.

 * I haven’t enable any cache plugin.
 * BTW, does Blockhole for Bad Bots supports LSCache running on LiteSpeed Server?
   thanks
