Another internet infrastructure outage has taken down a range of websites, including the one most commonly used to track outages.
Content delivery network and security services provider Cloudflare said its global network was “experiencing issues” just before 11.50am GMT (10.50pm AEDT).
“Cloudflare is aware of, and investigating an issue which impacts multiple customers: Widespread 500 errors, Cloudflare Dashboard and API also failing,” it said.

“We are working to understand the full impact and mitigate this problem. More updates to follow shortly.”
APIs are used to connect between different platforms, sites or services, 500 errors are generic errors usually linked to web servers and companies use the dashboard to manage their Cloudflare services.
Affected sites included X, Melbourne Airport, and Downdetector, which uses Cloudflare to verify users aren’t bots before letting them access the site.
Instagram, Facebook and TikTok appeared to be working normally.
