If you’ve been trying to check X to understand why large chunks of the internet are down, turns out it’s impacted too.
The platform formerly known as Twitter was disrupted on Tuesday morning due to a large-scale Cloudflare outage. At 6:48 AM ET, Cloudflare reported it was “investigating an issue which impacts multiple customers” with “widespread 500 errors.”
One of these platforms is X, with users reporting issues with the social media site at the same time as the Cloudflare outage, according to Downdetector. (Disclosure: Downdetector is owned by Ziff Davis, the same parent company as Mashable.)

Mashable has reached out to Cloudflare for further information.
This is a developing story and will be updated as new details emerge.
