Cloudfare services are facing disruptions globally affecting many sites including Zerodha, Groww, Zoom, among others.

Among the sites hit during the incident were Zerodha, Groww, Canva, Zoom, Shopify, Valorant, LinkedIn and Down Detector. Several Indian trading platforms also confirmed that they were impacted.

Soon after the outage began, investment platform Groww posted on X that it was facing issues linked to the global problem.

“We are currently experiencing technical issues due to a global outage at Cloudflare. This is impacting multiple apps and services worldwide.

We are monitoring the situation closely and will update you the moment services are restored. Thank you for your patience," the company said.

A short while later, the platform updated users again, “Our services have been restored. Thank you for your patience."

Zerodha also alerted its users about the disruption on its trading platform, Kite.

“Due to a cross-platform downtime on Cloudflare, Kite is currently unavailable. Please use the Kite WhatsApp backup to manage your trades while we investigate," the company wrote.

Later, it confirmed that services were back to normal: “Update: Cloudflare global outage resolved. Kite services have been restored. You can now trade normally. We regret the inconvenience caused."

Cloudflare is one of the world’s largest internet networks. It acts as a protective and performance-enhancing layer between a website’s server and its users. Millions of websites, including major global brands, rely on its services. Because of this, even a brief outage can affect many platforms at once, regardless of whether their own systems are functioning properly.

The company earns nearly USD 500 million every quarter from more than 300,000 customers across 125 countries, according to reports. Its wide-ranging presence explains why a single disruption has such a broad impact.

Cloudflare responded to the incident, saying it had “implemented a fix" and was investigating the cause of the outage. The exact reason has not yet been confirmed.

This is the second disruption in less than three weeks.

In November, Cloudflare faced another brief outage that temporarily affected websites including ChatGPT and Spotify. At that time, speculation about a cyberattack circulated online.

However, CEO Matthew Prince clarified that the issue was not caused “directly or indirectly, by a cyber attack or malicious activity of any kind." He explained that it resulted from a change made to the company’s database.
