Cloudflare Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
TezaApps (@TezaApps) reported@idunnstudio Good catch running the audit anyway. Stripe's restricted keys are the other half of that fix, a leaked key that can only read is a bad day instead of a disaster. Mine lives only in a Cloudflare Worker so the client bundle never even sees it.
-
AI SaaS Launchpad (@AISaaSLaunchpad) reported@marckohlbrugge @Cloudflare they lock name servers to force you onto their edge network, but making users transfer out just to point DNS somewhere else creates unnecessary friction.
-
Raj Sitaula (@raj_sitaula) reportedFalse reports should not be enough to label a legitimate website as phishing without a proper review. We hope Cloudflare investigates this issue fairly and restores access as soon as possible. @Cloudflare @CloudflareHelp

Adam (@_overment) reportedwas thinking about that too. Webflow, Framer, Make, Airtable, all gone. and there are memes about AI replacing $500 of software with $5000 in token bills. but in this case it's more like "the way I work has changed". now Cloudflare for example is what I need. and I don't need builders, classic CMS, or visual workflow editors anymore. agents handle all of it faster and more comfortably. I love not having to manually format the damn markdown when publishing a blog post.

The Cloaked Gaze 👀 (@gaze_observer) reportedGoogle is Building AI Fence Around the Internet it Once Championed — AI Mode Keeps Users on Google; Publishers Face 'Google Zero'; Over 50% of Web Traffic Now Non-Human The Fundamental Shift — From Gateway to Destination Google once acted as a gateway to the internet — answering queries with hyperlinks pushing users to the "open web" In the age of AI, Google appears to be pulling back from the open web — and may be imperiling it Silicon Valley giant has revamped search with AI — introduced AI Mode replacing search results with conversational responses written by Gemini Most recently: Google changed its iconic search box for the first time in 25 years — people can now add photos & videos to queries and assign AI "agents" to run searches for them User Behaviour — Spending More Time on Google Users writing queries three times as long as keyword-heavy questions asked of traditional searches People spending one to nine more minutes in AI Mode than on traditional Google searches — per three studies from NYT researchers One October study from Growth Memo found: in ~75% of sessions, users never left AI Mode for the web Users are no longer leaving Google after a search — just reading AI-generated answers Impact on Publishers & The Open Web For publishers, businesses, banks & others that relied on Google to funnel billions of users to their websites — impact has been unmistakable Fewer people coming to websites — search traffic has dropped Nilay Patel, Editor-in-Chief, The Verge: warned publishers for years they would face "Google Zero" — a moment when traffic from Google plummets to nothing — "For publishers, Google Zero is already here" Google has denied it is endangering the open web Liz Reid, VP of Search, Google: company's ethos has not changed; sending a "relatively stable" number of clicks numbering in the billions; reports of decline were "inaccurate" and relied on "flawed methodologies" The Bot & Non-Human Traffic Crisis More than 50% of web traffic is now non-human — per Cloudflare Between June 2025 and April 2026, human traffic to websites in finance, publishing & retail dropped nearly 40% Searches increasingly being performed by AI chatbots — number of people visiting websites is falling Someone who once Googled a soccer player's stats would click to a sports site — now a bot crawls the web and returns statistics to the user, who stays on Google Wikipedia — Caught in the Crossfire Wikimedia Foundation experienced 8% decline in human visitors over past year At same time: increase in bots scraping its site for data to train AI models Selena Deckelmann, Wikimedia Foundation CPO: "My work is to ensure that people don't forget about us because Google's user interface changed" Historical Context 2004: Larry Page wrote to shareholders — "We believe a well-functioning society should have abundant, free and unbiased access to high-quality information" Today: that founding ethos of an open, free internet stands in direct tension with Google's AI-first strategy

Ben Hultin (@ImBenHultin) reportedKeeping Costs Down During High Traffic (Vercel vs. AWS Serverless) Don't let your Vercel serverless function bill surprise you during a sudden traffic spike. Serverless platforms make launching effortless, but unbounded function invocations and edge request overages can quickly lead to unexpected monthly bills. How to fix it: 1. Set explicit execution time limits, token budgets, and concurrency caps on your serverless endpoints. 2. Offload heavy computations or batch data directly to AWS S3/Kinesis using direct service proxies rather than running proxy code through edge/Lambda functions. 3. Implement hard spending alarms and rate limiting (e.g., Cloudflare or API Gateway quotas) to block adversarial or infinite recursive agent loops.

Katewerk (@katewerk) reported@helloitsoctocat Cloudflare can't even figure out how to add a "close account" option on their user dashboard. Suspend your subscription? You'll be automatically charged and good luck deleting your cc from billing, becuase billing has no dedicated support. Then the AI slop bot provides instructions based on pages that no longer exist. The least competent tech service I've ever encountered.

Shraddha Bharuka (@BharukaShraddha) reported8. The DNS Resolution Footprint The Situation: You think browsing in "Incognito Mode" stops your internet service provider (ISP) and network administrators from tracking the websites you visit. The Mechanics: Incognito mode only prevents your local browser from saving your history and cookies to your physical computer. Every time you type a web domain name into your address bar, your device sends an unencrypted Domain Name System (DNS) query to your ISP to translate that domain into an IP address. Your ISP logs every single domain you look up, creating a permanent, time-stamped dossier of your browsing habits that can be monetized or handed over upon request. The Fix: Encrypt your DNS requests. Go to your browser settings, look for "Security & Privacy," and turn on "Use Secure DNS" (DNS-over-HTTPS). Select a trusted, privacy-focused provider like Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) or Quad9. This wraps your domain lookups in a layer of strong encryption, hiding your browsing destinations from local network snoops and your ISP.

Ksawery (@weryxmrr) reporteddid cloudflare use their support staff for @replicate cause it’s taking forever for them to answer pls help
-
Ali Salem (@alisalem) reported@DylanMcD8 Would routing DNS via Cloudflare have helped here? Even after switching registrars, the records (like the TXT for verification) would still live on Cloudflare, right? Or does Apple’s setup still cause issues during transfers?
-
Chinoman10 (@Chinoman10_) reported@mikepagenl @CherryJimbo @Cloudflare Been using them for years for more than 10 products, for both myself and clients alike and never ran into issues... But maybe we don't operate at the dozens of thousands of DO instances scale that this guy might've reached 🤷🏻

Darek Gusto (@darekgusto) reportedRandom Monday thoughts after waking up in the evening, because I'm failing my X game today: 1. Cloudflare solved my DNS problems with Railway (or rather with my domain provider) very fast, I should have gone for it much faster. 2. Seeing so many summer photos, I got jealous and started planning a trip myself, to the mountains nearby. Nothing long but a good change of pace. 3. I waited with summer book sale trying to decide if I should go for it or not (provided I overspent on AI tokens). And once I finally decided, naturally some of the books I wanted are not available anymore.

q32 (@q32com) reported@TimJayas amazon, google and cloudflare have more than enough compute to host those models but they won't. and shouldn't. there is simply no way to red team an open weight model of that size. it could be full of embedded backdoors, and you would never know.

Cédric Grieder (@cedricgrieder) reportedI have this old computer I dont use. Let's install debian and use it as a server for the business website. This will be fun and easy! I need to test this setup. LXD omg how does this work... I need to get a domain. WTF is cloudflare? What is a tunnel? Tmrw I'll be done...

Michael Hartwell (@Teresa_says_) reportedI almost ignored these charts — then the same signal appeared across all of them. $RBLX — Roblox — Don’t buy $DUOL — Duolingo — Don’t buy $APP — AppLovin — Don’t buy $HIMS — Hims & Hers — Don’t buy $SNOW — Snowflake — Buy at $252-$261 $DDOG — Datadog — Buy at $242-$250 $NET — Cloudflare — Buy at $251-$259 $SPOT — Spotify — Buy at $453-$468

armandoki (@armandokirwin) reported@codybrown You don’t need a bespoke service. Just prompt an agent to build your site and throw it on @Cloudflare for free. The reason @squarespace is raising their prices is because they’re trying to extract a last gasp of revenue before they become forever irrelevant.
-
Hot Aisle (@HotAisle) reported@mgaruccio It is a reverse proxy… thus you implement with a cloudflare worker and/or pointing to gcp functions if you want golang in there. sure they can add some bells on top of that but at the core, this scale issue is solved.

Kephen Rai (@kephen20936) reported@jallen_dev I actually used a temporary SQL Database to record events, rather than socket-based handling, I used up almost 2.8Million Reads and over 74k writes in like 10 minutes between two browser sessions for a Tank game. Worst idea ever, I was out of Bandwidth on Cloudflare for 2 weeks.

Search Engine Land (@sengineland) reportedFix gaps in this order: 1. Eligibility 2. Trust 3. Relevance First check crawler access, robots.txt, Cloudflare settings, NAP consistency and structured data. New content has limited value if AI systems can't access or confidently interpret the site.
-
Ozzy 🇺🇸 (@MEADGod) reported@Cloudflare Update 5: I know that some users (not all) are reporting that they can't access the web. We changed providers yesterday, however this might lead to SSL issues and show an error. Since the false flag report is still not down by @Cloudflare and Grindingsoft - it may block you from entering still. You can try CMD + Shift + R to see if it works. If not, please remain patient while we are still looking to fix this!

Shashank Agarwal (@itsshashank) reportedCloudflare building agent-behavior detection is a good preview of the next web problem. Every site will need to know what is visiting it: Human. Search crawler. Training bot. Buyer agent. Scraper. Or something pretending to be one of them.
-
Graeme (@GraemeVIP) reported@IntCyberDigest They still allow accessible options for people who can't do it. Google Captcha V2 was terrible for disabled people and the visually impaired. V3 solved that. This is unnecessary. You can beat bots with a honeypot field and Cloudflare, you don't even need Captcha V3.

Gem Master💎 (@GemMaster01) reported@MEADGod @Cloudflare hey @MEADGod some scammers like buying tokens chart looks good no sell etc. new buys from different wallets but they transfer to 1 wallet and sell all their tokens 1 click from their wallets. Can you solve this problem pls? 🙏

Jackgravvs (@Jackgreavesy) reported@Sir_Cats_Meow Seems to be an issue with cloudflare I’ve got the same problem

joexiii 🏴☠️ (@j03xiii) reported@HamEggsnSam I do a lot different **** on my network though actually. Like I have a whole subnet just for my wife’s work computer (I don’t trust her IT guy, long story) that is entirely segregated from my main net and uses Cloudflare for DNS. My gaming network is also segregated and uses Cloudflare for reduced latency. Basically my net traffic looks normal and crazy at the same time which probably drives my ISP nuts. At least I like to think it does I also run IDS/IPS and have caught and stopped a least a handful of probes trying to get in. I’ll probably spin up a honey trap in the near future too just for fun

Dinnu daniel (@daniel_adinnu) reportedMatthew Prince is warning small businesses that AI will consolidate power into the hands of a few large players. His own company just eliminated over a thousand jobs and called it AI efficiency. Speaking at the Cannes Lions festival, the Cloudflare CEO laid out a specific mechanism, when AI agents start making purchasing decisions instead of humans, small businesses lose the ability to compete for attention at all. “Imagine you are a small business trying to convince an agent to buy from you,” Prince said. “How do you do it? I think it’s incredibly difficult.” His broader worry is structural: brands with existing relationships and machine readable data will get chosen by agents automatically, while independent sellers with weaker digital signals simply won’t surface. “If you can’t have new entrants into markets, then over time you’re going to have just incredible consolidation.” The argument holds up on its own logic. Independent researchers and economists share the underlying consolidation concern, and it doesn’t require taking Prince’s word alone. What complicates the warning is who’s delivering it. Cloudflare sells the exact infrastructure, security, content delivery, network tooling, that a small business would need to make itself legible to an AI agent in the first place. A vendor warning the market about a problem its own product solves isn’t automatically wrong, but it isn’t a disinterested observation either. The sharper tension sits in Cloudflare’s own recent history. In May 2026, the company cut roughly 1,100 positions, and Prince attributed the reductions directly to AI-driven productivity gains, specifically targeting what he called “measurer” roles, middle management and metrics-focused positions he argues AI has made obsolete. He’s drawn a line publicly: builders and salespeople are safe, because engineers get more productive with AI rather than replaced by it, and buyers still prefer trusting a human. Measurers are not safe. Cloudflare says total headcount will keep growing regardless, with a record number of open roles. Two claims from the same executive, occupying opposite sides of the same disruption. AI concentrates power and crushes the small players who can’t adapt, and also, AI just let his own company do more with fewer people, a version of exactly the efficiency gain he’s telling small businesses they won’t be able to afford.

Ozzy 🇺🇸 (@MEADGod) reportedUpdate 3: And probably the final update before services are fully unblocked here. We are still working together with Cloudflare to solve this unnecessary blocker. What I want to add here is, that nothing will bring @ponsdotfamily down. As mentioned before, someone must be very bored and doesn't like the way we navigate the space. I want to amplify that not only is all of this illegal, but I will also be taking actions against these reports. Regardless of what comes next, the website is still available and accessible under the /launchpad redirect. Under no circumstances will I stop working on Pons. Whoever is having fun with this can keep going - and so will I. And every single setback, will just help us to grow stronger and provide a fair launchpad that is fully community aligned. @ponsdotfamily is the people's launchpad and it's time for people to understand this. We are here to stay and we are not leaving. Thank you for your attention to this matter. -- Ozzy

✨🪻luhluhlune🪻✨ (@lune_and_stars) reportedi think it may have to do w adblock,cookies and fingerprinting being disabled on for all sites on my mobile web browser, cause it triggered a cloudflare check as well. but only twitter has this issue thus far
-
FatherXLdn (@FatherXLdn) reportedStep 6: lock it down (do NOT skip this). Cloudflare Access in front of the tunnel: only your email gets a one-time login code. Nothing loads without it. Then verify Access's signed JWT server-side, don't trust the email header. Headers can be forged; signatures can't.

Invader Zim (@spiralout112) reported@dhh @Cloudflare I did go down the dns benchmarking rabbit hole, and cloud flare definitely did win.
