CloudFlare blocks request to simple test with no external resources

[ineeee]

CloudFlare is blocking access to adding a very simple test case.
When trying to submit the test, a screen similar to LuKks on #518 (comment) is shown.

I opened this issue after searching reading existing issues because this one is not related to jQuery (#518, #522) or any external scripts, and i'm not using concat (#68, #345) and striked me as odd since the setup is so simple. Additionally, this test only includes "core javascript" and no libraries or frameworks, contradicting this comment.

Quoting asilluron, from #518 (comment):

JSPerf was created to test core JS Performance.

I'm certain substring and split have been part of javascript for at least 20+ years. One could argue const is an issue, but according to mathiasbynens on issue 345,

ES2015 is definitely allowed.

Other comment on #519 argues that its out of jsperf's control because blocking scripts is working as intended, but as previously stated I don't have any.

The CloudFlare screen says to tell the site owner what I was doing and the "Ray ID": 56e3fd578d4580ce

Steps to reproduce

• Title: two comma separated values: split vs substring
• Define setup: const str = 'foo,bar';
• Code titles are substring and split respectively.

First code snippet:

var first = str.substring(0, str.indexOf(',')),
    second = str.substring(str.indexOf(',') + 1);

Second code snippet:

var temp = str.split(','),
    first = temp[0],
    second = temp[1];

Environment

I run Chromium 75 on Windows. I don't have any browser extensions (yes, not even adblocker). My ip isn't hated by CloudFlare either, I can interact with other cf sites just fine.

changing the setup variable name to jklfjdslkfj fixed it: https://jsperf.com/two-comma-separated-values-split-vs-substring

what the hell man, cloudflare is stupid

[asilluron]

Just to confirm, you changed str to jklfjdslkfj ?

[ineeee]

Yes (well, close). I changed str to jfdlksj and successfully submitted:

I replaced all instances of str with jfdlksj in the setup, test case 1 and test case 2, and successfully bypassed CloudFlare's block.

I have been blocked as well.

Preparation Code:

<script>
  function createRandomString() {
    const text = "";
    const possible = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";

    for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
      text += possible.charAt(Math.floor(Math.random() * possible.length));
    }

    return text;
  }

  Benchmark.prototype.setup = function () {
    const emptyMap = new Map();
    const emptyObj = {};
    const map = new Map();
    const obj = {};
    const predefinedKey = createRandomString();
    const predefinedVal = createRandomString();

    for (let i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
      const key = createRandomString();
      const val = createRandomString();

      map.set(key, val);
      obj[key] = val;
    }
  };
</script>

Code snippet 1:

emptyMap.set(predefinedKey, predefinedVal);

Code snippet 2:

emptyObj[predefinedKey] = predefinedVal;

Code snippet 3:

for (let key of map.keys()) {
  const val = map.get(key);
}

Code snippet 4:

for (let key of Object.keys(obj)) {
  const val = obj[key];
}

I have just been blocked trying to create a benchmark with the following code:

Preparation code:

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/lodash.js/4.17.15/lodash.core.min.js"></script>
<script>
// from: https://stackoverflow.com/a/43044212/613198
_.insertSorted = (a, v) => a.splice(_.sortedIndex(a, v), 0, v);
_.insertSortedBy = (a, v, i) => a.splice(_.sortedIndexBy(a, v, i), 0, v);
</script>

Setup for all tests:

let inputArray = [
  {
    "id": "06BCCC25",
    "displayName":"Application"
  },
  {
    "id": "39F886D9", 
    "displayName":"Communication"
  },
  {
    "id": "22EA4ED5",
     "displayName":"Device"
  },
  {
    "id": "2F6E5FEA",
     "displayName":"Service"
  },
  {
    "id": "317BF72C", "displayName":"Service02"
  }
];

let newValue = {
    "id": "07BSSC25",
    "displayName":"Mail"
};

I've been using jsPerf for many years and it would be a pity if I had to look around for an alternative.
I don't think using Cloudflare can really work for this sort of project because I believe it is blocking me because I enter JavaScript in text fields and it thinks I'm trying to make a XSS or similar attack.
In fact I will have to stop using jsPerl until it is resolved, because even if some people here suggested changing variable names to fool the Cloudflare's attack detection, I don't want to be flagged by Cloudflare as someone who attacks websites.

I would suggest checking what CDN or DDoS protection, if any, is used by:

• JSBin
• jsFiddle
• CodePen

because this has never happened to me on those websites.

I was also blocked doing nothing out of the ordinary. Just loading jquery and fomantic-ui.
