Anyone just experiance this? OCUK was affected, a lot of sites are still down.
WTF happened.

Seems like some key cross network gateway/hub went down.

I thought it was just me when I couldn't get my morning check of Hot UK Deals! Then these forums did it and I thought it was definitely me and I needed a cookie or cache clear.

Looks like it may have been something to do with Cloudflare throwing a wobbly.

Who'd have thought that putting half the internet on a single service might cause issues...

Honestly that's pretty bad...

Just straight up isolated a portion of the internet away from mobile/landlines. People I know in Europe were still able to access discord for example though lol.

Data centres in Europe and the rest of the world probably weren't affected. Cloudflare simply distributes cached content throughout a network of data centres across the world.

I've only seen it down a couple of times in 8 years.

It's popular because it's good.
