Did you experience a disruption yesterday while trying to access Lumi News?

We were among the many services worldwide affected by the Cloudflare outage. 🥺 Access was briefly interrupted for our users, but our app and web are now fully back online after Cloudflare implemented a fix for the service degradation.

Thank you so much for your patience! 💙

Major internet platforms, including the social media site X, ChatGPT, and Lumi News, were inaccessible for thousands of global users on 18 November 2025. The disruption, caused by an internal service degradation at Cloudflare, which handles around a fifth of all global web traffic, led to widespread 500 errors and loading failures.

Cloudflare is a US-based web infrastructure firm providing security, performance, and reliability services. It acts as a gatekeeper between a website's host and the end user, functioning as a Content Delivery Network (CDN) that shields sites from traffic spikes and cyberattacks, handling a significant portion of global web traffic.

A spike in unusual traffic to one of Cloudflare's services began around 11:20 UTC (7:20 PM MYT) on 18 November 2025, causing traffic errors across its network. Cloudflare confirmed it was "all hands on deck" to resolve the issue and ensure traffic was served without errors, though the precise cause of the traffic spike was under investigation.
