Cloudflare Down Again: Outage Hits Canva, Claude, Groww, Angel, More

Cloudflare Down: For the second time in just a few weeks, a major Cloudflare outage has disrupted large parts of the internet, taking down several popular apps, websites, and financial services. The issue began on December 5, 2025, when Cloudflare confirmed it was experiencing “internal service degradation.”

Know that Cloudflare is one of the core backbones powering today’s internet, which explains why the impact felt widespread almost instantly.

What went down this time

As soon as the outage began, users across the world started reporting login errors, lag, and complete app failures. Even Downdetector, usually the first place to check if a site is down-went offline, and it was clear by that time that it is Cloudflare outage.. Again! This has been further confirmed with the Cloudflare Status page, which reads, “Cloudflare is investigating an increased level of errors for customers running Workers scripts.”

For a quick look, here are the websites or apps which went down: 

• X (Twitter), LinkedIn, Discord
• Canva, Notion
• AI tools like Claude, ChatGPT, and Perplexity
• Groww, Zerodha, Coinbase
• Spotify, Letterboxd, Crunchyroll
• Shopify 

Many of these apps completely failed to open for a large part of the outage window. However, Cloudflare has since stabilised most of its systems, and many affected apps-including Canva, LinkedIn, Quillbot, Groww, and several AI tools-are back online. Downdetector has recovered as well, allowing us to finally check outage patterns in real time.

As soon as several apps and websites started facing the impact of the Cloudflare outage, several frustrated users have rushed to X to share the updates.

Is there no alternative to Cloudflare?

I think their definition of making the internet safe is making the internet inaccessible. pic.twitter.com/RgdEo4ttdi

At this point @Cloudflare is taking down our sites more than hackers. pic.twitter.com/sTvNjzPn61
