It’s not possible; for example with Google Search Console validation, you use a DNS method of validation instead.

This is possible， with Cloudflare proxy and worker

1. proxy your website with cloudflare

2. create an HTTP handler service, respond with your loader-io code  

3. add the route to Routes in the worker’s triggers tab
