Several website down due to cloudflare outage
Cloudflare, which typically works quietly in the background to keep the internet running smoothly, made headlines on Tuesday after a major outage. Reports indicate that it blocked access to some of the world’s largest websites.
Many popular websites and apps suddenly stopped working this afternoon. If you’re seeing messages like ‘500 Error’ or ‘Something Went Wrong,’ it’s likely due to a major Cloudflare outage. Users worldwide are unable to log in or load content on X, Gemini, Perplexity, and several other platforms.
Cloudflare outage brings down major websites worldwide
According to the Independent, this company is part of a large web-infrastructure group that also includes services like Amazon Web Services. These services help websites deliver pages to users. Their work is usually invisible, but as soon as something goes wrong, their absence becomes immediately apparent.
Who is affected by the Cloudflare outage?
The content (photos, videos, files, or text) displayed on the websites you visit or services you use online is stored on the servers of select content delivery networks (CDNs). Cloudflare’s servers host content from a large number of websites, and the impact caused all related websites to crash.
