International platform slowdown hits Moroccan users amid Cloudflare outage

International platform slowdown hits Moroccan users amid Cloudflare outage
Tuesday 18 November 2025 - 14:51

Morocco appeared among the countries registering error reports during Tuesday’s global outage at internet infrastructure provider Cloudflare though disruptions were primarily linked to international platforms relying on Cloudflare’s services.

Downdetector’s global heat map logged Morocco within a cluster of countries reporting higher-than-usual incident volumes. 

The pattern resembled user-reported disruption elsewhere in Africa, Europe and the Middle East, and the US.

Cloudflare’s status page said “cloudflare is aware of, and investigating an issue which potentially impacts multiple customers,” noting internal investigations were under way with no immediate indication of a regional cause.

The outage affected a wide array of international services, including X, ChatGPT, Canva and several online gaming platforms. 

These platforms operate through Cloudflare’s global content delivery and security network, meaning downtime or degraded performance can reach users in Morocco even when local operators maintain normal service levels. 

International outlets, including El País and TechRadar, reported widespread errors across multiple continents as platform providers struggled to route traffic through Cloudflare’s network.

 Downdetector reported that roughly two-thirds of Cloudflare-related complaints corresponded to mobile application problems and server-connection failures.

The impact, including in Morocco, was most visible on international platforms that integrate Cloudflare’s cybersecurity and delivery layers.

Web services that operate independently of Cloudflare, or that use alternative CDNs, continued functioning normally.
