What Happened Today?

On 18 November 2025, a major Cloudflare global outage caused millions of websites—including blogs, hosting dashboards, WordPress panels, and SaaS platforms—to go completely down. Users across India, Singapore, Europe, and the US reported 500 Internal Server Error, Cloudflare Error, and challenges.cloudflare.com blocked messages while trying to access their sites.

Reason Behind the Outage

According to Cloudflare’s official status page, the company is facing a global network service degradation.
Key points mentioned:

• Cloudflare's Singapore, London, and surrounding regions are reporting high error rates.
• Application services like Access, WARP, and some CDN layers stopped responding.
• Cloudflare has temporarily disabled some services to restore stability.
• Engineers are actively working to bring systems back to normal.

Cloudflare stated:
“We are investigating the issue and continuing remediation efforts.”

How This Outage Affected Websites

Due to this global fault, websites showed:

✔ Browser Working

❌ Cloudflare Error

✔ Host Working

This means your hosting/server is fine, but Cloudflare’s network is failing to connect.

Common problems users faced:

• 500 Internal Server Error
• DNS resolution stuck
• Hosting dashboards like HostArmada, Hostinger, Bluehost, etc. lagging
• Cloudflare dashboard loading error:
  “Please unblock challenges.cloudflare.com to proceed.”
• Websites not opening even after clearing cache or VPN use
• Sudden traffic drop because Google couldn’t crawl websites

Who Is Affected?

This outage impacted:

• Bloggers (Blogger + WordPress)
• Developers using Cloudflare CDN
• E-commerce sites
• SaaS platforms
• Hosting dashboards (cPanel, WHM, Client Area portals)
• API-based websites
• Educational portals, LMS platforms, and more

Millions of sites across the internet rely on Cloudflare, so this outage was felt globally.

Is Your Website Safe?

Yes.
Your hosting is not the issue.
Your files, database, and server are safe.

This is a Cloudflare-side problem, and everything will auto-restore once Cloudflare fixes the network.

No action is required from your end.

What Should You Do Now?

While Cloudflare is fixing the issue, you can:

➤ Avoid making any DNS changes

➤ Do not disable Cloudflare temporarily unless critical

➤ Do not flush DNS repeatedly

➤ Do not migrate hosting out of panic

Just wait for the servers to stabilize.

When Will the Problem Be Fixed?

Cloudflare engineers have confirmed that:

• The issue is identified
• A fix is in progress
• Services are recovering region by region

Once the Singapore and London networks stabilize, global traffic will return to normal.
