Content encoding support for Markdown for Agents
Cloudflare now supports content-encoded responses when converting HTML to markdown for AI agents. The origin response limit has been increased to 2 MB, and the content-length header is no longer required.
When AI systems request pages from any website that uses Cloudflare and has Markdown for Agents enabled, they can express the preference for text/markdown in the request: our network will automatically and efficiently convert the HTML to markdown, when possible, on the fly.
This release adds the following improvements:
- The origin response limit was raised from 1 MB to 2 MB (2,097,152 bytes).
- We no longer require the origin to send the
content-lengthheader. - We now support content encoded responses from the origin.
If you haven’t enabled automatic Markdown conversion yet, visit the AI Crawl Control ↗ section of the Cloudflare dashboard and enable Markdown for Agents.
Refer to our developer documentation for more details.
