## Digital experience tests to authenticated resources and enhanced configuration

Apr 29, 2026 

[ Digital Experience Monitoring ](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/insights/dex/) 

[Digital experience tests](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/insights/dex/tests/) now support testing applications protected by Cloudflare Access or third-party authentication. All authentication secrets are managed via [Cloudflare Secret Store](https://developers.cloudflare.com/secrets-store/).

Digital experience tests also have enhanced configuration options including:

* New HTTP methods (DELETE, PATCH, POST, PUT)
* Secret Store headers, custom plain text headers, and custom request bodies
* Advanced settings: follow redirects, response bodies, response headers, and allow untrusted certificates
