Due to a malfunction with Cloudflare, it is possible that some websites are currently loading longer. Many websites on the Internet already use the CDN from Cloudflare - then you will soon notice this while surfing.
Only briefly noted: Since tonight there seem to be disruptions at Cloudflare, which also on its own Status page has already been confirmed. I noticed the problem while surfing the internet normally - some websites simply took a long time to load. After a bit of back and forth, I found the cause. Last July There was a similar problem with Cloudflare.
Cloudflare disruption: This is why websites load slowly
Coincidentally, these were precisely the websites that use Cloudflare. If a website uses Cloudflare, all data traffic is routed through the CDN provider's servers. If there is a problem here, access takes longer. Even if the website or the "real" server behind it would otherwise be fast. According to the Cloudflare status page, however, they already know about it and are working on a solution. Don't worry: your internet access is fine and you don't have to call the hotline. 😉
Update at 22:21 p.m.: The problems seem to have been resolved.
An hour has passed and there is still no improvement. Why don't you reroute the traffic? That shouldn't be a problem for such a huge company
Shines again now proto run smoothly.

Are there services like Discord attached? It also seems pretty slow to me there ...
I think so, if you z. B. looks at the IP of the Discord website (https://api.techniknews.net/ipgeo/discordapp.com), you can also find Cloudflare.
Many of the bigger ones use Cloudflare where often you don't believe it.

if cloudflare is down, half of the web goes down. how dependent we actually are.
For such cases you should at least have a second solution, that's right.
THANK YOU for this message .. and I idiot keep restarting my router. Are probably all too spoiled at Telekom ^^
Haha, that's how I felt before. At least now we know what it is. This time the culprit isn't the internetprofour. 😉
