If you’ve had trouble browsing the internet this morning or apps aren’t loading, don’t worry — you’re not alone. Cloudflare, a major networking company that provides delivery services and DDoS protection for websites, is experiencing a significant outage, affecting major sites like X, ChatGPT, and Spotify.
When you try to visit a website affected by the Cloudflare outage, you’ll likely see an error 500 code and a message such as “There is an internal server error on Cloudflare’s network,” along with a suggestion to “try again in a few minutes.”
Cloudflare is aware of the problem and is working on a fix. The company posted a system status update at 6:48 AM EST stating that “Cloudflare is experiencing an internal service degradation. Some services may be intermittently impacted. We are focused on restoring service. We will update as we are able to remediate.”
In its latest update at 9:22 AM EST, Cloudflare says it is “continuing to work on a fix for this issue.”
