Cloudfare helps protect websites from cyber activity such as attacks, and helps keeps websites live during heavy flows of web traffic, according to The Independent.
This morning, they revealed, “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.”
They added a short time later, “The issue has been identified and a fix is being implemented….We have made changes that have allowed Cloudflare Access and WARP to recover. Error levels for Access and WARP users have returned to pre-incident rates.
We have re-enabled WARP access in London. We are continuing to work towards restoring other services.”
Stay tuned as we learn more. And keep refreshing to check when these sites will be back online!
