Major websites, such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Facebook, and the social media platform X, have been hit by technical issues after a Cloudflare outage.
“Cloudflare is aware of, and investigating an issue which potentially impacts multiple customers,” the company said. “Further detail will be provided as more information becomes available”.
Cloudflare provides content delivery network services that power many of today’s websites and platforms, including cybersecurity tools that keep websites online amid heavy traffic.
Tracking website Down Detector, which monitors outages, was also hit by the technical problems.
Cloudflare said that services are beginning to recover but that “customers may continue to observe higher-than-normal error rates as we continue remediation efforts”.
