Optimizing web application user experiences with AWS WAF JavaScript integrations

Networking & Content Delivery Blog

The article provides guidance on optimizing the user experience of web applications when integrating with AWS WAF JavaScript APIs for CAPTCHA and Challenge actions.

Specifically, the article covers:

  • Considerations before using the JavaScript integrations: whether CAPTCHA/Challenge actions are triggered deterministically or non-deterministically, and whether the browser communicates with AWS WAF protected resources across domains.
  • Integration options for web applications: interstitial completion and AWS WAF JavaScript integrations.
  • Scenarios for optimizing user experience in Server Side Rendered (SSR) applications, including handling deterministic and non-deterministic CAPTCHA actions, and avoiding blocked static resource requests.
  • Scenarios for optimizing user experience in Single Page Applications (SPAs), including optimizing page rendering while completing challenges, handling deterministic and non-deterministic CAPTCHA actions, and avoiding blocked static resource requests.
  • Conclusion: The JavaScript integrations enable maximizing bot control effectiveness while minimizing user journey drop-off due to negative experiences.
