Or more specifically, continued anxiety and economic failure: maybe there are more desperate attempts to unsuccessfully hack websites for money and user data.
Yeah. Looks like cloudflare was getting yesterday.

A Cloudflare outage broke large swathes of the internet
A fix is currently being implemented.

I like to think this demonstrates why it's bad for one service provider to dominate the market, but nobody will learn all that much from this.
CF dominates the market - and their free tier is delightful. Oddly, a paid plan jumps up a bunch from zero, but that's not all that important. The important bit is that CF dominates the market with 82% of the CDN market - though that's only like 20% of the web.
But, it's a 'big 20%' meaning that 20% is made up of some pretty major companies.
With recent changes in the way Google handles ranking, you'll see more sites moving to a CDN and they're predominantly going to pick CF, if the past is any indication.

Explains a lot. I was searching for some news about what was going on when everything seemed to go dark early yesterday morning, but couldn’t find anything. Probably because most sites weren’t working at all, ha ha!

I have had 4 drop-outs this morning, not spotted any excessive load around the 400 mark, perhaps cloud fair are still having problems
