Social media platform X and multiple other websites experienced widespread disruptions early Tuesday morning due to an issue affecting Cloudflare’s global network.
DownDetector, a service that tracks online outages, recorded a sharp spike in user reports for X as the problems unfolded. President Donald Trump’s Truth Social platform was also impacted by the Cloudflare service interruption.
“Cloudflare is aware of, and investigating an issue which potentially impacts multiple customers,” the company stated on its official status page. “Further detail will be provided as more information becomes available.”
Cloudflare provides critical internet infrastructure services including content delivery, security, and DDoS protection to millions of websites worldwide. When its network experiences problems, the ripple effects can impact numerous sites simultaneously.
The company has not yet disclosed the cause of the disruption or provided an estimated timeline for full restoration of services.
