Cloudflare, a web infrastructure provider and content delivery network, is reportedly suffering outages resulting in major websites crashing across the internet.

Multiple websites crashed worldwide today as one of the web’s most important infrastructure providers and content delivery networks, Cloudflare, suffered an outage. Cloudflare provides DNS and CDN services and powers approximately “40% of the internet.”

The Cloudflare system status page stated that “the issue has been identified and a fix is being implemented.” The issue is reportedly related to the Cloudflare Resolver in the company’s edge network in certain locations. The outage struck at quite a few Cloudflare data centers at the same time.

Downdetector lists a number of sites and services being unavailable including Discord, Spectrum Internet, Shopify, AT&T, and Amazon Web Services. Some security researchers are alleging that the issue is not just affecting Cloudflare but many other smaller service providers.

Spectrum internet and phone service was out for about ten minutes earlier in the day here, but things seem to have been righted. Thank goodness!

I've been given to understand that there is a Spectrum outage somewhere in the US in any given day. That general outage probably explains why I couldn't immediately retrieve the Giraldi article.

It'strange -- Downdetector's orange cloud seems to constantly cover my area whether Charter/Spectrum is down or not. But why would that affect your retrieving a Giraldi article?

When I tried, the Unz website where it appeared was down. As sometimes Giraldi appears first on Russia Insider, I tried them next but that site was also don. Didn't last long.

How are they related to Spectrum?

AFAIK they are not related. Lod was simply giving a local report on Spectrum in his area.

My AT&T internet and phone were out for about half the day earlier this week. Not sure if this outage was the same thing or not. ;)
