A widespread outage at Cloudflare, an internet infrastructure provider, has disrupted parts of the internet, including sites like ChatGPT and social media platform X.
Cloudflare said on its status page Tuesday that it had identified an issue impacting multiple customers and was implementing a fix.
“We made changes that allowed Cloudflare Access and WARP to recover. The error level for Access and WARP users has returned to pre-incident levels. We have re-enabled WARP access in London,” the company wrote on its status page. “We continue to work to restore other services.”
Cloudflare told Reuters in an email that it saw a spike in “unusual traffic” before the widespread errors on its network.
