In a later update, Cloudflare reported signs of recovery: “We are seeing services recover, but customers may continue to observe higher-than-normal error rates as we continue remediation efforts.”

Earlier, the firm acknowledged an “internal service degradation” that was intermittently affecting some services, adding that teams were focused on full restoration.

The outage also affected tracking site DownDetector, which faced its own technical issues as users tried to check the extent of the disruptions.

Independent watchdog NetBlocks confirmed the global scale of the incident, noting that the outage was “not related to country-level internet disruptions or filtering.”

The interruption led to thousands of users worldwide reporting accessibility issues on X and several other websites that rely on Cloudflare’s infrastructure.
