[Resolved] 2025-06-12: Major Cloudflare and Google Cloud outages causing intermittent slowdowns

On 2025-06-12, both Cloudflare and Google Cloud started having broad outages:

This is in turn impacting the availability and performance of some of our services, both in the CMS and the API. It doesn’t seem like a full outage yet, but general slowdowns so far.

These are in turn also affecting our image CDN: https://status.imgix.com/incidents/ww7rgnbpkqg7
And our videos CDN: https://status.mux.com/incidents/8l2vdkxgs0pp

This is an evolving situation and we’ll post updates as we can.

It is extremely uncommon for major different internet providers to have simultaneous broad outages like this… we are not sure what is going on either, but we will try to post any information we get.

What we’ve noticed so far:

  • Some image assets are not loading at all
  • CDA calls can take anywhere from < 100ms to more than 10 seconds (but seem to eventually respond)
  • Usage and billing pages in your dashboard and the CMS may be severely slowed down (taking up to a minute or two to load)

Cloudflare believes their issues are resolved, and Google is expecting recovery within the hour.

The incidents should be resolved, including impacts to Mux and Imgix.

Google has a preliminary incident report, with a fuller one coming later: https://status.cloud.google.com/incidents/ow5i3PPK96RduMcb1SsW

Elsewhere, a Cloudflare representative appears to have told the media that the two outages were connected: https://mashable.com/article/google-cloud-caused-internet-outage-cloudflare-says

Services should be fully restored on both clouds.
