Service status

# Cloudflare status

Is Cloudflare down? This is Cloudflare’s current status, its components and its recent incidents, read from [Cloudflare’s official status page](https://www.cloudflarestatus.com) and refreshed every 2 minutes.

Cloudflare’s status page did not answer just now, so we cannot say what it reports. Open [www.cloudflarestatus.com](https://www.cloudflarestatus.com) directly.

## Is it down for you, or for everyone?

A status page shows what the vendor has confirmed, which often lags what users see. [Run a live check of cloudflare.com](https://getuptimely.com/is-it-down/cloudflare.com) to see whether it answers right now.

## Get alerted when Cloudflare has an incident

Uptimely’s External Status Page monitor watches Cloudflare’s status page and alerts your team by email, SMS, phone call, Slack, Discord or browser push when it reports a problem, next to the monitors for your own services.

### Is Cloudflare down right now?

The status at the top of this page is Cloudflare's own, read from its public status page every couple of minutes. It shows what Cloudflare's team has confirmed. For an independent check of whether cloudflare.com answers right now, use the live check on the is-it-down page.

### Where is Cloudflare's official status page?

Cloudflare publishes its status at https://www.cloudflarestatus.com. This page shows the same data with the recent incident history in one place, and links each incident to Cloudflare's own write-up.

### Why does Cloudflare not work for me when its status says operational?

A status page lists the incidents a vendor has confirmed, and confirmation takes time: problems often reach users minutes before they reach the status page, and some partial or regional problems never appear on it. Your own network, account or region can also be the cause.

### How can I get alerted when Cloudflare has an incident?

Add an External Status Page monitor in Uptimely pointed at https://www.cloudflarestatus.com. It reads the page on a schedule and alerts your team by email, SMS, phone call, Slack, Discord or browser push when Cloudflare reports a problem, beside the monitors for your own services.
