Is Cloudflare down today: For the second time in three weeks, Cloudflare’s network issues have taken down several major services that rely on its infrastructure. Popular platforms including Canva, BookMyShow, LinkedIn, Zerodha, Groww, Notion, SpaceX, Coinbase and even messaging and collaboration tools like Zoom are experiencing widespread accessibility problems.

Is Canva Down? Zoom and Other Services Affected due to Cloudflare outage

The disturbance started early on Friday afternoon and rapidly expanded into a large-scale service failure across India and in other places. Also down, dovetailing in an inconvenient way with the collapse of the social internet as we know it, even Downdetector: The go-to for tracking outages, is also itself down, making it impossible to see how many other users are suffering through a real-time breakdown.

What We Know So Far

Cloudflare has acknowledged interruptions in parts of its network, stating that the issues stem from scheduled maintenance work. While the company hasn’t shared deeper technical details, the impact has been significant enough to knock out both consumer-facing platforms and critical services used for banking, trading, payments, work, and design.

Reports indicate widespread errors related to server connectivity, hosting failures and inability to load dashboards or log in. For many platforms, the outage means their core routing layer simply isn’t reachable.

The last major Cloudflare disruption on November 18 crippled AI platforms in India. Several users today also report Claude.ai being inaccessible, although ChatGPT remains unaffected at the moment.

Responses From Affected Platforms: Zoom, Bookmyshow and Notion Down

Some companies have begun issuing advisories:

Zerodha told users to switch to Kite WhatsApp as a temporary fallback to manage transactions until the platform is restored.

Canva and Groww publicly confirmed that the outage is linked to issues with Cloudflare’s CDN layer, not with their own internal servers.

Other impacted brands — including Coinbase, LinkedIn and Notion — have remained quiet so far, though user complaints continue to spike across social media.

Outage Scale and Reports

Industry data shows more than 2,000 outage reports within minutes of the disruption, most linked to:

- Websites failing to load

- Server access errors

- Hosting instability

The sudden surge in reports reflects how deeply embedded Cloudflare’s systems are in the global internet backbone. Everything from authentication requests to content delivery may choke if its core nodes are unstable.

Why This Matters?

Cloudflare isn’t just another vendor — it’s the web’s gatekeeper for many large apps, startups, media platforms, financial trading tools and enterprise networks.

When it sneezes, much of the modern internet catches a cold.

A repeat outage within three weeks will likely raise questions around redundancy and risk mitigation among businesses that rely almost entirely on Cloudflare for routing, caching, and security layers.

No time or date has been given for full restoration, but platforms are slowly seeing the light of day once more as Cloudflare fixes some of the network. Right now, users might be experiencing assorted slow-downs, log-in trouble or the service being down altogether based on their carriers.

If previous fixes are any indication, Cloudflare should restore stability soon — but the industry will definitely be watching closely this time.
