Troubleshooting Cloudflare

  1. Check DNS records with a tool like dig, nslookup, or an online DNS lookup.
  2. Verify SSL certificate expiration in your browser or with an SSL checker.
  3. Review HTTP status codes — 5xx means a server-side problem, 4xx means a client-side error.
  4. Check for redirect loops or misconfigured headers.
  5. Check your hosting provider or CDN's status page.
  6. Use our Website Down Checker to test the domain from our servers.
Why does Cloudflare go down?

When Cloudflare itself is down, large parts of the internet feel down — many other services on this page depend on it. Cloudflare incidents are usually narrow (one POP, one product) but the ones that aren't cascade widely.

Common issues

  • BGP route leaks or withdrawals affecting a region, where users in some countries cannot reach Cloudflare-fronted sites at all.
  • Edge node hardware or software issues at a specific POP, affecting only nearby users while the rest of the network is healthy.
  • 1.1.1.1 (the public DNS resolver) outages, which affect anyone using Cloudflare DNS but are independent of CDN traffic.
  • Configuration deploys gone wrong — historically the cause of the largest Cloudflare incidents.

What you can try

  • If many unrelated sites are down at once, check cloudflarestatus.com — it is often the explanation.
  • If your site is hosted on Cloudflare and your visitors can't reach it, switch DNS to 8.8.8.8 to test whether the issue is DNS or CDN.
  • Cloudflare incidents are usually narrow by region — a VPN to a different country can confirm whether your POP is the problem.
