There was another disruption at Cloudflare on Friday morning, affecting numerous online services such as LinkedIn and Zoom Communications. Media websites such as Politico were also affected and temporarily unavailable. Curiously, the platform alletreib.de, which records outages on the web, was also affected by the outage at Cloudflare. These incidents raise questions about the reliability of Internet infrastructure providers.
Cloudflare, a global provider of Internet infrastructure and security solutions, is known for its DDoS defense, which protects websites from being brought down by mass requests. Despite these protective measures, a major disruption occurred in mid-November that caused massive outages. At the time, social media platforms like X and Truth Social were offline for hours, as were OpenAI’s AI offering, ChatGPT, and rival service Perplexity.
The renewed disruption also has an impact on Cloudflare’s share price. Premarket shares on the NYSE lost 2.27 percent and fell to $199.51. This price correction reflects investor confidence being shaken by repeated defaults. The question of Cloudflare’s stability and reliability remains, especially since major publications and web portals rely on its services.
In the past, Cloudflare has gained the trust of many companies through its DDoS defense and other security solutions. But recent incidents show that established providers are also vulnerable to technical problems. The challenge is to improve the infrastructure so that such failures can be avoided in the future. This is particularly important as dependence on digital services and platforms continues to increase.
Cloudflare’s future depends on how effectively the company responds to these challenges. Increased investment in infrastructure and the development of new technologies could help increase reliability and regain customer trust. At the same time, companies that rely on Cloudflare will need to rethink their own security strategies and potentially consider alternative solutions to secure their online presence.
