Cloudflare is down and it has brought down a number of popular sites with it | Infinium-tech

Cloudflare is down, causing problems on many popular sites

Some affected sites are difficult or impossible to access, for example X and ChatGPT are down. Not everyone uses Cloudflare, so there are many sites still available if you’re looking for something to do – Reddit and Gemini still work, for example. Our site is too (or you wouldn’t be reading this).

This is what happens when a major service provider gets into trouble. For example, Reddit, Snapchat and many other sites were shut down when AWS experienced problems last month.

Cloudflare is aware of this issue – you can track updates on status pageThe problems occur intermittently and the affected sites load occasionally, but it is clear that the problem has not been resolved,
