Wind of panic on the Internet: Cloudflare victim of a large-scale outage

Cloudflare is the victim of a global outage this midday, affecting access to numerous websites and online services (Downdetector, Feedly, Doctissimo, Marmiton, Les Numériques, etc.). Users are reporting loading errors, completely inaccessible sites or major slowdowns. The exact source of this outage has not yet been communicated by the company.

Cloudflare is an American company specializing in security, optimization and distribution of content on the Internet. It acts as an intermediary between websites and Internet users in order to improve performance, reduce loading times, protect against cyberattacks (including DDoS attacks) and guarantee page availability. A large part of the global web relies on its services, which explains the extent of disruptions when an incident occurs.

We will continue to monitor the situation and update information as soon as possible.
