Cloudflare, a company that improves security and speeds up performance for websites and applications, reported a series of global network disruptions on Tuesday, causing intermittent errors, slow load times and dashboard login issues for users around the world.
While Citrus College did not report any direct outages, students and staff using services hosted behind Cloudflare, such as the college’s own systems that were not directly affected, but external services they depended on were down. You may have noticed slowdowns or interruptions during the recovery window. Cloudflare will provide a final update when their investigation is complete.
The incident began early on Nov. 18 with what the company described as “internal service degradation,” and several Cloudflare-supported applications, including some used by colleges and cloud-based services, showed elevated latency throughout the morning.
Engineers spent several hours rolling out fixes, temporarily disabling certain services like Cloudflare access in London while working to stabilize the network.
Cloudflare Access and Cloudflare were the first to recover, with error levels returning to normal shortly after 5:00 a.m.
While services gradually came back online, some users continued to report dashboard problems and occasional error spikes as the company continued its remediation efforts.
By 9:44 a.m; Cloudflare announced that its systems were “operating normally,” with no remaining signs of elevated errors or latency.
The company says all services disabled during the incident can now be safely re-enabled. A full post-incident investigation and detailed technical report will be released once engineers finish analyzing what caused the disruption.
