A number of websites, including social media platform X, appear to have been hit by problems affecting internet infrastructure firm, Cloudflare.
Thousands of users reported issues with X (formerly Twitter), Canva and
other services to outage monitoring site Downdetector flagged shortly after
11:30 GMT on Tuesday.
"Cloudflare is aware of, and
investigating an issue which potentially impacts multiple customers," the
company said in a note on its service status dashboard at 11:48 UTC.
"Further detail will be provided as more
information becomes available."
The company said in further updates, shortly
after 12:00 GMT, it was continuing to investigate the issue.
It comes after an outage impacting Amazon Web
Services last month saw more than 1,000 sites and apps knocked offline.
Another major web services provider,
Microsoft Azure, was also affected shortly afterwards.
Some experts suggest such incidents highlight
the fragility of the modern internet, and the profound disruption that can be
caused by problems at the small number of companies underpinning it.
