Cloudflare status history
Our own checks from Europe and the US. Green means every check passed, amber means some checks failed, red means most checks in that period failed.

None since Oct 1. A problem has to fail two checks in a row before we record it.
About Cloudflare
Cloudflare is a core internet backbone provider, running a CDN, DDoS protection, DNS resolution, Workers (edge compute), R2 (S3-compatible object storage), Pages (JAMstack hosting), Zero Trust (SSE/SASE), and the 1.1.1.1 public resolver. Because so much of the web proxies through Cloudflare, an outage can feel like the whole internet is down. Incidents are scoped per data center (Cloudflare has hundreds of POPs globally) or per product. Customers frequently see "Error 1020" or "Error 521" pages during partial outages where Cloudflare cannot reach origin servers. BGP-related incidents at Cloudflare have taken down unrelated sites that just happen to use Cloudflare DNS.
The official Cloudflare status page is available as a reference. Official pages are useful, but they can lag behind real outages by minutes or hours. Independent monitoring catches issues faster.
What outages typically look like on Cloudflare
Cloud platforms like Cloudflare rarely fail in obvious, all-or-nothing ways. The more common pattern is regional degradation: one availability zone or geographic region runs at half capacity while the rest of the platform serves traffic normally. Status pages often show green because the aggregate health check is still passing, even when a customer's specific workload is degraded.
The live tool above checks the public cloudflare.com endpoint from EU and US and compares status and response time. That can reveal a regional reachability problem, but it cannot prove that every Cloudflare product, API, or customer workload is healthy. Use the provider status reference and test the specific workflow you depend on before drawing a broader conclusion.
Common signs Cloudflare is having issues
- HTTP 503 (service unavailable) or 504 (gateway timeout) responses creeping into normal browsing
- Sustained response-time drift above the Cloudflare baseline (usually a precursor to hard failures)
- TLS handshake delays during peak hours that resolve at quieter times
- Regional disparity: one geography returns errors while another stays healthy
What to do when Cloudflare is degraded
If Cloudflare appears degraded, compare the EU and US endpoint results, open the provider status reference, and test the exact region and workflow your system uses. Preserve failed request IDs and timestamps for support. If only one region fails, use an alternate region only when your own failover policy permits it.

Provider status references
and endpoint checks answer different questions.
Independent endpoint evidence
The regional check can show that a public endpoint is failing before or after a provider posts broader incident context. It does not validate every product subsystem.
Scheduled alerts
Monitor Cloudflare on your plan interval and route confirmed endpoint failures through the notification channels available to your workspace.
Multi-region verification
EU and US results can reveal a regional difference in public-endpoint reachability. Confirm the exact workflow and provider region you use.
