Cloudflare in a US content delivery and internet security company.
It helps roughly 6 million websites securely push their content around the internet, including X, Uber, and ChatGPT.

'Funny how fast everyone suddenly swarms back to bluesky, the second Twitter is down,' chimed in another.
Another Bluesky user wrote: 'Twitter went down...this site is still working!!'
X has not released a statement to confirm the issue, but it could be connected to the Cloudflare outage, which is reporting a similarly wide set of problems.
Cloudflare is an internet infrastructure provider that offers many of the core technologies that allow internet experiences to run smoothly.
That includes critical tools that protect websites from cyber attacks and keep them online during spikes of heavy traffic.
Sites like X, OpenAI's ChatGPT, Bet365 and games like League of Legends all rely on Cloudflare's web services to operate.
Since Cloudflare began reporting disruption, all of these sites have shown similar spikes in outage reports.
Even Down Detector, which monitors reports of internet outages, was briefly taken offline by the disruption.
Since Cloudflare began reporting issues, a number of sites which use Cloudflare services such as X, OpenAI, League of Legends, and Ikea also began to report issues
Affected users saw a message warning them that there was an 'internal server error on Cloudflare's network'.
Of those affected by the Cloudflare outage, 50 per cent said they were having a problem with 'server connection' functions.
A further 37 per cent said they could not access the Cloudflare website, while 13 per cent of users said they were having issues hosting their own web services.
In a statement, the company said that it was experiencing issues with its global network.
