On Friday morning, Twitter, along with Grok, faced a significant outage affecting users globally on both the websites and apps. Reports of the outage surged around 10:00AM ET on DownDetector, with over 600 Twitter servers worldwide experiencing issues according to Cisco’s ThousandEyes outage map.
Users attempting to access the site via Twitter.com or X.com encountered Cloudflare connection errors or were unable to view any posts or feeds initially. While the platform has been restored for many users, it continues to face intermittent functionality issues, often displaying ‘Something went wrong. Try reloading.’
By 11AM ET, the website and app started to recover for some users. However, the restoration has been inconsistent, with some users regaining access to the platform and seeing updated posts, yet experiencing ongoing challenges in loading feeds and displaying the latest content.
Twitter has not provided an official statement in response to inquiries from The Verge. Further updates will be shared as more information becomes available.
