Cloudflare Global Outage Affecting Services

November 18, 2025 by
Cloudflare Global Outage Affecting Services
Lighthouse IT Solutions, Matthew Almendinger

We're reaching out to inform you of ongoing service disruptions you may be experiencing. These issues are due to infrastructure problems with Cloudflare, a third-party service provider that many online services depend on for security and performance.


Cloudflare is a third-party service that provides security infrastructure to many online services and they are currently experiencing global outages, interrupting their ability to perform those services and thereby interrupting the websites that rely on Cloudflare. The Lighthouse team is monitoring the situation on the Cloudflare status page and tracking their resolution efforts in real time. We are here to assist with your critical business needs in the meantime.


Current status:

You can view live updates at: https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/



Updates from Cloudflare:

  • Update - Cloudflare services are currently operating normally. We are no longer observing elevated errors or latency across the network.
    Our engineering teams continue to closely monitor the platform and perform a deeper investigation into the earlier disruption, but no configuration changes are being made at this time.
    At this point, it is considered safe to re-enable any Cloudflare services that were temporarily disabled during the incident. We will provide a final update once our investigation is complete.
