Social media, streaming services and global news outlets including the New York Times and CNN were hit Tuesday by outages, with some users unable to access the sites.
Some visitors to the affected websites received error messages that read, “Error 503 Service Unavailable,” while others read simply, “connection failure.”
It’s unclear what caused the sweeping outages, but it appears to be related to major problems with a cloud service provider.
San Francisco-based cloud computing services provider Fastly announced early Tuesday that it’s experiencing a technical issue. The firm
said on its website that it’s investigating the issue.
Fastly operates a content delivery network service that many websites use to help speed up the loading of their web pages for users.
Matt Taylor, a product manager at the Financial Times,
wrote on Twitter: “Fastly, the CDN provider, is having a massive outage, resulting in Twitch, Pinterest, Reddit, The Guardian, and the FT returning 503 errors.” According to
downdetector, Reddit, Amazon, HBO Max, Hulu, Amazon Web Services, Etsy, Twitter, Google, Target, Spotify and others were all affected.
