A massive global outage has been reported on several prominent websites, including Twitter, formerly known as X, Canva, and ChatGPT, leaving millions of users unable to access their services. According to Downdetector, over 11,000 users worldwide experienced issues with X, while more than 900 users in India reported problems with the platform as of 5:05 pm local time. The outage is attributed to a technical issue at Cloudflare, a key infrastructure provider for many online services. Cloudflare has acknowledged the issue, stating that it is 'aware of, and investigating an issue which impacts multiple customers: Widespread 500 errors, Cloudflare Dashboard and API also failing.' The company has assured that it is working to mitigate the problem and provide updates as soon as possible. Netizens took to Twitter to express their frustration and curiosity about the outage, with many users reporting that even Downdetector, a tool used to track website outages, was inaccessible. 'X went down for a minute just now. Even their host server on Cloudflare was down,' one user posted. Another user wrote, 'Looks like x is down because of cloudflare issues. Downdetector also inaccessible.' The outage has affected several other websites, including Perplexity, which also relies on Cloudflare's services. As the situation develops, Cloudflare continues to work on resolving the issue and restoring services for its affected customers.
