Cloudflare is an internet infrastructure that
offers many of the core technologies that power today’s online experiences.
That includes tools that protect websites from cyber-attacks and ensure that
they stay online amid heavy traffic, for instance.
“Cloudflare is aware of, and investigating an issue which
potentially impacts multiple customers,” the company said in a new update.
“Further detail will be provided as more information becomes available.”
Tracking website Down Detector, which monitors outage, was
also hit by the technical problems itself. But when it loaded it showed a
dramatic spike in problems.
Affected users saw a message indicating there was an
“internal server error on Cloudflare’s network”. It asked users to “please try
again in a few minutes”.
