Cloudflare glitch triggers websites outage in Nigeria, others
Several major websites around the world, including the social media platform X, faced disruptions on Tuesday due to problems linked to internet infrastructure company Cloudflare.
Cloudflare announced on its service status page that it was investigating an issue that could affect many of its customers. The company said more details would be provided as soon as they are available.
It reads, “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. More updates to follow shortly.
“We are seeing services recover, but customers may continue to observe higher-than-normal error rates as we continue remediation efforts.”
Also in Nigeria, several major news websites, including Very Nigerian, also experienced intermittent downtime.
Cloudflare provides critical backend services for millions of websites worldwide, including security checks and traffic management, and says about 20 per cent of all global websites rely on its infrastructure.
Although the full scale of the outage remains unclear, users also reported difficulties accessing other major platforms, including OpenAI’s ChatGPT. OpenAI said it was reviewing the issue but did not explicitly attribute the disruption to Cloudflare.
Tuesday’s incident comes weeks after a major Amazon Web Services (AWS) outage knocked more than 1,000 websites and applications offline. Microsoft Azure also suffered service interruptions shortly after the AWS incident.
