Cloudflare down: Websites such as X not working amid technical problems with the internet​

Andrew Griffin Tuesday 18 November 2025 11:58 GMT

Parts of the web appear to have stopped working amid a technical problem at Cloudflare.

Visitors to websites such as X, formerly known as Twitter, and film reviewing site Letterboxd saw an error message that indicated that Cloudflare problems meant that the page could not show.

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”.

Incident report is live, tldr jeets couldn't do sql and wrote a query lacking a crucial where filter, then jeets couldn't do change management and rolled out an infrastructure change exposing extra data to said query, then finally jeets couldn't do rust so an unhandled exception exploded their entire rectums to smithereens.

First chat might actually be from an Indian based on the bad grammar lol

This is what sucking the girldick does to you. Not only you are humiliated, but its the closest equivalent of an actual working Curse-Ye-Ha-Me-Ha. Because right after taking the girldick, Prince really got fucked by reality.

Trash service lmao, just make your own cloudflare elon

Honestly, would be hilarious if a couple of the large websites affected by this just end up doing what null did or it becomes a normalized practice entirely that curb stomps Cloudflare's consumer base down to shitty cartoon-wiki websites made by low functioning autists.

The shit they know is like a grade 6 biology book, but the real world runs on grade 9 biology textbook. They're behind. I knew a guy who immigrated here from Algeria, had a tech resume, it was dated. Recruited told him to catch up. He didn't. Uber driver now.

HR doesn't care what's dated and what isn't when they can get brownie points during the HR picnic for hiring an immigrant.

Why won't it just die already?

Lots of hospitals in my country currently have their websites down because of Cloudflare. It’s on the national news.

Why hasn’t it been fixed yet? Indians aren’t sleeping now…

Time to reset the clock. I sure love Current Day Internet of having multiple single points of failure.

Working as intended. Market capture never changes, once a dominant player has bullied their way in, quality declines and cost goes up. Meanwhile, we're sitting pretty, Kiwi's win again.
