Cloudflare co-founder and CEO Matthew Prince apologised in the post late Tuesday, stating that this outage was the worst the company has experienced since 2019.

Several major internet services appeared to have been affected by the Cloudflare issue, including X and Amazon Web Services, according to DownDetector.com, a website that tracks service outages based off user reports. Cloudflare said that it is focused on restoring service and that it would provide updates throughout the process.

In a blog post, Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince explained the cause of the outage that took a lot of websites offline on November 18.

Web services company Cloudflare said it is aware of problems impacting "multiple customers" amid reports of outages at apps including X.

As soon as social media users were able to get online following the outage, conspiracy theories began to circulate online.

Infrastructure company Cloudflare has been hit with what it calls "widespread 500 errors, [with] Dashboard and API also failing."

A widely used Internet infrastructure company said that it has resolved an issue that led to outages impacting users of everything from ChatGPT and the online game, “League of Legends,” to the New Jersey Transit system early Tuesday.

Web infrastructure company Cloudflare said it is experiencing problems across its network on Tuesday, curtailing access to some popular websites. "Cloudflare is aware of, and investigating an issue which potentially impacts multiple customers," the company said online at around 7 a.m. ET.

When web services provider Cloudflare went down on Tuesday, a significant portion of the internet became unavailable.
