If you’re having trouble accessing your favourite websites earlier today, don’t panic. It’s not an issue with your device or WiFi; Cloudflare is down, bringing down half the Internet with it including Discord, Fitbit, Peloton, and yes, Product Nation webpage itself.
Cloudflare, one of the world’s largest networks on which millions of Internet properties are hosted, has reported and identified an issue with their network connectivity at approximately 3:16 pm today. We, too, noticed that many websites showed a “500 Internal Server Error” minutes before Cloudflare posted an announcement on their Twitter account.
As of 3:46 pm, Cloudflare has implemented a fix and is continuing to monitor the result.
If you’re still experiencing outages, try this easy fix. Changing your DNS configuration from Cloudflare’s 1.1.1.1 DNS service to a default DNS service should fix most of your issues, according to The Verge.
Update: As of 4:15pm, the issue has been resolved.
