Frequently Asked Questions
Q:How do I know if Cloudflare is down?
Our real-time monitoring tool checks cloudflare.com from multiple locations worldwide. If our system shows Cloudflare as down and you can't access it from different devices or networks, it's likely experiencing a widespread outage. You can also check social media for reports from other users.
Q:Is Cloudflare down for everyone or just me?
Use our status checker at the top of this page to see real-time status. If it shows as 'UP' but you can't access it, the issue is likely with your internet connection, device, or local network. If it shows as 'DOWN', the outage is affecting multiple users globally.
Q:What should I do if Cloudflare is not working?
First, verify if the issue is widespread using our monitoring tool. If Cloudflare is down for everyone, wait for the service to be restored. If it's just you, try clearing your browser cache, restarting your router, flushing DNS cache, or trying a different browser or device.
Q:How long do Cloudflare outages typically last?
Most outages are resolved within 15-60 minutes. Major incidents can take several hours. Scheduled maintenance windows are typically announced in advance. Check Cloudflare's official channels or their status page at https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/ for updates during extended outages.
Q:Why can't I access Cloudflare on my device?
If Cloudflare works on other devices but not yours, the issue is device-specific. Try clearing your app cache, updating the app, restarting your device, checking for OS updates, or reinstalling the application. Also verify your device has a stable internet connection.
Q:Can DNS issues cause Cloudflare to appear down?
Yes, DNS problems can prevent your device from finding cloudflare.com's servers. Try flushing your DNS cache or switching to public DNS servers like Google DNS (8.8.8.8) or Cloudflare DNS (1.1.1.1). DNS issues usually affect specific networks or regions rather than all users globally.
Q:Does Cloudflare have planned maintenance?
Most major services schedule maintenance during off-peak hours and announce it in advance. Check Cloudflare's official status page or social media channels for maintenance schedules. Planned maintenance is typically brief, lasting 15-30 minutes.
Q:What causes Cloudflare to go down?
Common causes include server overload from high traffic, software updates or bugs, hardware failures, network issues, DDoS attacks, DNS problems, database issues, or third-party service dependencies. Large-scale outages often involve multiple interconnected factors.
Q:How accurate is your Cloudflare status monitoring?
Our monitoring system checks cloudflare.com from multiple global locations every few minutes, providing highly accurate real-time status information. We monitor HTTP response codes, response times, DNS resolution, and SSL certificate validity. The data is updated automatically and reflects actual service availability.
Q:Where can I get official updates about Cloudflare outages?
Follow Cloudflare's official social media accounts (Twitter/X is often fastest for updates), check their dedicated status page at https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/, or visit their official website's help center. Community forums and sites like Reddit can also provide user-reported information during outages.
