Recommended target for availability monitoring

We use PRTG for network monitoring. One of the standard sensors for HTTP availability is to hit www.google.com every sixty seconds. This has been in place for a couple years now, but our users have recently started getting captchas when using google search, and by far the largest number of sessions going to google.com are our PRTG servers. Is anyone else having trouble with this? Is there a better recommended target website for this kind of monitor? I'm considering changing to Cloudflare or something to test against if Google has changed their policy.
