Cloudflare is a service that “Powers Internet Applications on millions of websites and uses 78 million HTTP requests per second on average,” according to its site. In short, when Cloudflare has problems, the Internet has problems. Users on X are already reporting issues, and download detector – a site that usually goes by checking what’s broken and what’s not – seems to be getting weird. (Disclosure: Zift Davis is both the owner and down detector.)
