The social platform X was down for thousands of users Tuesday morning, as web infrastructure provider Cloudfare experienced issues.
More than 10,000 users reported problems with the site starting at around 6:30 a.m. EST, according to Downdetector, which briefly went down itself.
As of 8:30 a.m., X displayed a notice of an “internal service error” and pointed users to Cloudfare for more information. Cloudfare noted shortly before 7 a.m. that it was “experiencing an internal service degradation.”
The company said just after 8 a.m. that the issue “has been identified and a fix is being implemented.”
Several other sites also appeared to be impacted by the Cloudfare outage, with OpenAI and Canva showing a spike in reported issues on Downdetector and similarly indicating a problem with Cloudfare.
