Cloudflare Outage: X, ChatGPT, Spotify DOWN! Why Half the Internet Went DARK Today

Описание: 🚨 Cloudflare Outage: X, ChatGPT, Spotify DOWN! Why Half the Internet Went DARK Today 🌐


The Internet just had a major meltdown. On November 18, 2025, a massive Cloudflare outage—a key piece of the web's infrastructure—sent shockwaves across the globe, taking down X (Twitter), ChatGPT, Spotify, League of Legends, and countless other services. Millions of users were knocked offline, experiencing widespread HTTP 500 errors.
Why the Cloudflare Meltdown Matters

• Single Point of Failure: Cloudflare powers an estimated 20% of all websites. This outage exposed how fragile our centralized internet has become.
• Domino Effect: A technical issue inside one company can instantly halt global communication and commerce.
• The New Normal? This follows closely after a major AWS outage in October 2025, highlighting growing vulnerabilities in cloud-centric architecture.


What We Know:

• When: Started around 11:48 UTC (6:48 a.m. ET).
• Impact: Downdetector recorded over 11,000 reports for X alone at its peak, plus thousands for OpenAI, Spotify, and more.
• The Cause: Cloudflare cited an "internal service degradation," not a cyberattack. A post-mortem is expected.
• The Lesson: Companies need multi-cloud strategies and better redundancy to prevent future economic and communication fallout.
