Web infrastructure company Cloudflare said Tuesday it resolved an issue on its network, which had curtailed access to some popular websites for several hours. "A fix has been implemented and we believe the incident is now resolved," Cloudflare said on its status page at 9:40 a.m. ET.

Services from Cloudflare, a software company, underpin thousands of websites, including X, Spotify and OpenAI. The company said a crash in a software system was to blame.

Cloudflare said on Tuesday morning that it was "all hands on deck" trying to work out the cause of the outage.

Issues at Cloudflare, an internet services company, disrupted wide swaths of the internet across the globe and right here in Ohio before it was restored late in the morning of Nov. 18. Several popular websites and apps were experiencing outages the morning of Nov. 18, according to Downdetector, a site that tracks outages across the internet.

On DownDetector, the issues with X are being reported as 58% app problems and 32% web. Users are unable to access their accounts on the app or on desktop. It is now reported that X is beginning to operate as normal with users being able to access their accounts.

Cloudflare confirmed it experienced a "significant outage" on Tuesday that stemmed from a crash in a software system that handles traffic for a number of its services. The company wrote in an emailed statement to Mashable that the issue had been fully resolved and added that it did not appear to be an attack or caused by malicious activity.
