I turned on Cloudflare’s Markdown for Agents for the whole site. It’s content negotiation via the Accept header: same URL, but agents get clean markdown instead of HTML. No code changes, just a zone-level toggle in the dashboard.

The part that surprised me was how revealing it is. I curled my own homepage and got back 346 tokens of mostly navigation chrome and testimonial text. Weeks of design work, reduced to a tagline and some labels. It’s a mirror that shows you what your site actually says when you strip away everything visual.

The x-markdown-tokens response header is a nice touch. You can check how many tokens a page will cost before downloading the body.

Full write-up: 346 Tokens
