I assume this is because of LLM scraping.

  Presumably but I wish they'd also focus on optimizing code/making pages fully cacheable instead of rate-limits and blocking

    The limits are for API requests, no? Or is this just an unrelated performance complaint?

    Last I checked, they just blanket added `cache-control: max-age=0` to everything.
    Loading <a href="https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab" rel="nofollow">https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab is showing 14 API calls so presumably significantly more DB queries for a public page
