A major outage affecting Cloudflare’s Global Network has led to widespread internet disruptions, impacting popular platforms like Elon Musk’s X, ChatGPT,and even Downdetector, the first place people look to understand internet outages.
Cloudflare, the world’s leading web infrastructure and security company, confirmed that it was experiencing a significant issue with its Global Network in the early hours of Tuesday morning, causing widespread outages across the internet. The problem has affected various services, including social media platform X, OpenAI’s ChatGPT, and the outage monitoring site Downdetector among many other sites and apps experiencing problems. Even some news sites, including Axios, appear to be completely unreachable as of this writing due to the Cloudflare outage — visitors are asked to “unblock” a Cloudflare address to proceed.
According to Cloudflare’s System Status page, the company is currently investigating the issue, which is causing HTTP 500 errors that impact the Cloudflare dashboard and API. These server-level errors indicate that the problem lies within Cloudflare’s infrastructure, rather than with individual websites or servers. The Company claims in one of its most recent updates that, “The issue has been identified and a fix is being implemented.”
As a result of the outage, X has been experiencing intermittent issues, with availability being patchy for the past hour. Downdetector, which ironically relies on Cloudflare’s services, has also been affected by the outage. The site saw a peak of 11,201 reports of issues at 6:37 a.m. ET, with the number of reports gradually decreasing to 6,570 at the last data point. This decrease could suggest that the fix is slowly propagating across the internet, or that fewer people are reporting the issue as it becomes more widely known.
Cloudflare had been undergoing scheduled maintenance at 5:00 a.m. ET, according to the company’s website.

I just lost Mark Davis talking about The Ken Burns documentary on the American Revolution. Let me just say this. Two hours per episode is too much when it can be done in one. Fancy paintings and all the Hollywood stars doing voice-overs to get in on the action. Were supposed to be enamored with his intellectual prowess and dared to sit through his worthy efforts.
Ken Burns is the old aristocrat saying “Pass the Pollen All-fruit”.
The rest of us are saying “Could you please pass the jelly?”
My ecom store is down, Adobe Commerce Cloud is down….
“Put your system and data on the cloud! It’s the latest thing!”
“What could possibly go wrong?”
my Wisconsin credit union is unavailable
Funny how it always seems to happen when the dems are getting ready to be humiliated AGAIN...hmmm
I can access Freerepublic without any problems but cannot access tha conservative treehouse. Funny that.
Worse than that. FReeper pookie18’s Today’s Toons is down.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
East coast is down. West coast is not................
From what I am hearing, it isn't the only credit union. Why would any financial institute tie itself to Cloudflare?
Ain’t centralization grand?!
Should have used BitCoin..........Oh, wait...............
“What could possibly go wrong?”
The cloud is liable to do what clouds do. Dissipate. LOL.
I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now.
“Cloudflare, the world’s leading web infrastructure and security company”
And single point of failure, with airtight terms of service that absolve them from any liability anywhere, in any way, shape, or form.
Would this affect the VA portal?
Because I can’t get on it this morning to check on my prescriptions.
