Cloudflare Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Furkan (@TheRealFurkan) reported@hogrbe Why not move it behind Cloudflare? it would fix all your issues.
-
Shreya (@Oblivious9021) reportedInterviewer: Cloudflare took down 20% of the internet. No virus. No breach. One bad regex in a firewall rule. Infinite CPU loop. Servers melted in minutes. How do you test for the bug that looks harmless until it isn't?
-
Nirant (@NirantK) reportedhey @Cloudflare can the new email sending service be used for things like newsletters? or strictly transactional emails only e.g. sign in, reset password etc?
-
Monty Nicol (@catsfive) reported@grok @xai Incognito didn't work Still can't click on the Cloudflare dogshit You sure you're the future of intelligence?? This is basic level ****, absolute ******* embarrassment
-
HRH Prince Sven Olaf of CyberBunker - CB3ROB (@cb3_rob46858) reported@j2k3k just run your own servers kids. why ******** involve any 3rd party **** like cloudflare or edgesuite deliberately ******* things up for you.
-
Mike Gyi (@mikegyi) reportedFinally sorted out my cloudflare la liga problem.
-
Rhiyddun (@rhiyddun) reported@CopBlaster @RightSideR3bel the IPs point at cloudflare stuff, which I wouldn't expect a regular user website to be. Idk, the webserver was probably easier to breach and redirect than a godaddy login, and far more destructive things than a simple redirect could have happened at domain level. Could be someone using the cPanel exploit... depends on a lot of things I don't know.
-
Phil Eaton (@eatonphil) reportedIn terms of the cost savings: Cloudflare network error logging takes up a big chunk in production. Switched all icons to svg (saved a good deal) then merged them into a single sprite which compresses better. Minifying JavaScript for the first time. And started paginating articles
-
Nick Radford (@nick_radford) reportedWas hitting my head against my keyboard for a couple hours trying to understand some caching issues with my tanstack app on Cloudflare, just for it to actually have been Cloudflare Hyperdrive's default caching...
-
Wallstreet Dragon (@longwashere) reported$NET One of my patreon subs called me an idiot for buying cloudflare last week but now it's one of the few stocks that have been up and to the right. That really hurt my feelings. 🐉
-
Md Istiqur Rahman, Remote SEO Consultant for SaaS (@mdistiqurrahman) reported@gaganghotra_ Good catch man. Google literally launched Scroll-to-Text in Chrome 80 (2020) to fix this exact problem of buried info. Cloudflare wiping the #:~:text= undoes 6 years of UX progress lol. Super bad for GEO & deep AEO citation value.

リ 乇 刀 卂 丅 丂 口 乙 乇 𠘨 (@vedatsozen) reportedIs there a method to use writing your codes from Mobile ? I have a Saas on cloudflare and supabase problem is that when user pays plan column doesnt change in supabase but makes payment in Dodo payment But chatpgpt 4.1 cant solve it. I need Claaude
-
刘米其丶 (@Liu_Mickey_Ai) reportedDue to the Cloudflare outage, all unode services have been affected. All users just need to be patient and wait
-
Jason Fleagle (@jjfleagle) reported@Cloudflare This is a useful reminder for AI ops too. Standard metrics often tell you the system is alive, not that the workflow is healthy. The hard part is instrumenting the hidden failure modes: contention, stale state, bad handoffs, and slow invisible queues.
-
DasCanard (@DasCanard) reported@TomZarebczan @dok2001 Do you mean to use Cloudflare as IdP or actually sign in with Cloudflare account on some like how you use google sign in
-
Diogo Moreira (@diogomrcom) reported@genmon @threepointone @inanimate_tech Cloudflare lack of support for a spending cap is what’s currently stopping me from going deep in the platform. How do you handle that?
-
qualk 🌲🪓 (@qualk37) reported@ronrule @Cloudflare I've never even thought of that. were there little DNS people telegramming other little DNS people with a domain and IP
-
Cruthaifios (@cruthaifios) reported@somi_ai @milesdeutscher Cloudflare has a market cap of $70B and only revenue of $2B. Their revenue doesn’t seem like it will justify valuation any time soon. And cutting costs won’t improve revenue. Cloudflare has a revenue problem even if it grew 34% for many years in a row. Or at least it’s overvalued
-
Isaac (@irg111) reported@JulienHoez @Cloudflare Are you sure this is cloudflare? Wtf
-
Kohi needs coffee (@koshitantankohi) reported@weltjoachim8 They seem to have added cloudflare and a captcha. That's probably why it was down for a while.
-
Ryan Doser (@ryan_doser13) reportedI spun up a local service website in a few hours that already ranks locally and received 2 leads in 24 hours. My Stack: Claude Code + GitHub + Cloudflare + Astro (web framework) A web agency would charge thousands for this. I'll be discussing this more on my YouTube channel soon. Stay tuned!
-
Hank Smythe 🇨🇦 (@HSmythe10) reported@UK_Daniel_Card My guidance to any firm is to NOT be reactive to vulnerabilties via scan and fix model. Instead patch every 3 weeks with the latest security patches available for all systems in play. Simultaneously protect publicly exposed systems via Firewalls and WAF (like Cloudflare).
-
partivox (@partivox_) reported.@ExoHashIO uses the same cryptography as drand. The distributed randomness beacon run by Cloudflare and Protocol Labs. The difference is: drand is an external service you call. Exohash embeds it inside consensus using ABCI++ vote extensions. No oracle call. No latency. No external trust needed.
-
Valentín García (@htmgarcia) reportedIs Cloudflare the worst product? Always experiencing negative experiences for years.
-
Yorick Phoenix (@scribblings) reported@eastdakota @Cloudflare Was part of the 1,100 a significant number of support staff, because I have never experienced such slow, unhelpful support as an Enterprise customer until now?
-
Darren *I upset people* Richardson (@S0UNDK1LLAH66) reported@RyanNoKneel @2LivesCid Down detector did show X as a haphazard line. So if it’s all over the place - there’s problems. It’s a main spike you gotta watch out for if a line goes straight to the top. Then check Cloudflare on same app. It’s Friday. So maybe expect some O - o.
-
Bored Devops ☠️🛠⚙️ (@syntoythesis) reported@theo @r_marked The only question I want to know is which level you're service will sit. Conventional wisdom says right above AWS/Azute/GCP, but that feels too boring. "It's a CloudFlare+Vercel wrapper," feels like something you'd go for and I am here for it.
-
Elena | Contract Security Auditor (@SecurityElena) reportedCloudflare catching bugs in Anthropic's AI generated patches is the exact problem i've been warning about. we're already seeing contracts deployed from LLM output with zero human review and the exploit window is massive
-
xiaoshi · AI SaaS Patterns (@Orangek21865157) reported@Digi_Ingenuity Yes. Worst offenders I see: 1) Cloudflare Bot Fight/Super Bot Fight 2) challenge rules for unknown UAs 3) Wordfence/rate limits on bot-like fetches 4) edge middleware treating GPTBot/ClaudeBot differently Audit: compare browser UA vs AI UA status, body, WAF headers.

Cult News (@cultvgnews) reportedI will never be convinced that Cloudflare performs a useful service. All I see them doing is slowing down the internet.
