Linking and the companion file
The home page of developers.cloudflare.com does not link the file in its HTML. Ora's lab found (2026-10-19) that 86 percent of llms.txt fetches by agents arrived through a link, so an unlinked file is mostly a file nobody opens.
How it compares
At 16 KB the file is larger than 74 percent of the 2,529 plain-text llms.txt files in this edition, and its 112 links put it ahead of 82 percent of them on link count. The home page declares no generator. Size bucket: 10 to 50 KB. Curated example. Category: Developer docs.
Why it is in the index: Root file links per-directory llms.txt files to stay inside context windows. Owner as listed: Cloudflare.
