Page Shield is Cloudflare's Client Side Security product. I've been involved with Page Shield since conception by mentoring Justin Zhou while he worked on the first version during his internship. Since then I've stepped in as Product Manager first bringing the product to general availability and subsequently improving it further.
In this post I go over the latest enhancement to Page Shield: Connection Monitor. This feature allows Page Shield to report on outbound connections initiated by JavaScript being made by browsers when accessing a given application.
