If a legitimate visitor triggers an interactive part of a Managed Challenge, they will typically see a page indicating that Cloudflare is checking their browser. This might involve a brief spinning icon or a very simple interactive prompt (e.g., clicking a checkbox). The key is that it's designed to be quick, user-friendly, and less intrusive than a traditional CAPTCHA, minimizing disruption. The challenge often resolves within a few seconds, automatically redirecting the user to the intended page upon successful verification. Cloudflare prioritizes a smooth experience for human users while ensuring sufficient difficulty for bots.
