Cloudflare is investigating an ongoing outage that is causing Google errors to be displayed on its website. Cloudflare’s Head of Organic Social noted that the error message contains a Google logo that doesn’t match the current design. The company stated that its dashboard and APIs are accessible and unaffected. This comes after last week’s power outage, which impacted Cloudflare’s core data center and caused a range of service disruptions. A separate outage on October 30 was attributed to a misconfiguration in a tool used for deploying a new Workers KV build.
