A widespread outage at Cloudflare, one of the world’s leading internet security and performance service providers, caused the temporary disruption of several major Pakistani institutional websites on Monday.
The fault affected multiple government, financial, and corporate platforms that rely on Cloudflare’s network for protection against cyberattacks and for faster website performance. As a result, users experienced difficulty accessing services, slow loading times, or complete downtime.
Cloudflare confirmed that the issue originated from one of its global network systems and assured users that engineers were working to restore full functionality. Services began returning to normal shortly after the company implemented fixes.
Pakistani institutions have increasingly integrated Cloudflare into their digital infrastructure, making outages like this particularly noticeable for the public. Authorities are monitoring the situation and ensuring backup measures remain active to prevent future large-scale disruptions.
