Today, a significant Cloudflare outage has caused widespread disruptions for numerous popular websites worldwide. Cloudflare, known for its content delivery network (CDN) services as well as cybersecurity protections, helps many websites reduce server load and safeguard against attacks. However, this centralization means that when Cloudflare experiences failures, it can impact a vast portion of the internet all at once.
Several major sites including X (formerly Twitter) and ChatGPT are currently inaccessible for many users. GSMArena faced issues briefly but has implemented temporary fixes to restore functionality. If you continue to experience problems with our site or others, feel free to report them in the comments section below.
Outages at Cloudflare are causing widespread website downtime across popular platforms
Though Cloudflare is a dominant service provider, not all websites rely on it—sites like Reddit and Gemini remain operational at this time. Our own website is also still accessible, ensuring you can stay informed as events unfold.
This incident highlights the risks posed by internet centralization. Similar large-scale outages occurred last month when AWS experienced technical difficulties, impacting Reddit, Snapchat, and more.
Cloudflare has acknowledged the problem, and you can monitor the progress of their resolution efforts via their Status Page. While some sites may load intermittently during this outage, a full fix has yet to be achieved.
