This makes me curious, was there actually a cloudflare error page with the error on the cloudflare cloud? I'm used to seeing the one where the error is on the host. But, for an error where the error shows as being on cloudflare, cloudflare's systems would have to be working enough to serve the error page where they show that their cloud is the issue, but broken enough to not be able to serve the cached content.
Yes, I got this screen:
I remember a similar screen, though with the elements beside each other rather than on top of each other because I was on desktop. So yes, Cloudflare's error messages are actually accurate in that regard.
In case anyone is interested in the full story: https://blog.cloudflare.com/18-november-2025-outage/
Mine said the issue was Cloudflare this morning, similar to the picture.
Interesting, good job cloudflare for at least being able to serve the correct error message.
The part that I got a kick out of was that their status page was also throwing out the error. I guess it was still indicating the status in a way…
Nice, what was the "Host" in that case? www.cloudflare.com?
cloudflarestatus.com, seems to be hosted on AWS. Probably just got hammered because there was suddenly a lot of people caring about CFs status.
