Cache Purging Delays Affecting Requests Routed Through EEUR
-
Official
Investigating
Some single-file cache purge requests (purge by URL) submitted through the Dashboard or API and routed through our EEUR purge queues are experiencing delays of up to 30 minutes. Cache invalidation for these requests may be delayed across our global network. This also affects Always Online. We are working to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, you may use Purge Everything, but this may cause a surge in traffic to your origin server(s) More updates to follow.

What our checkpoints saw
HostTracker's checkpoints, which test cloudflare.com from several locations, recorded no outage of 5 minutes or longer during this incident. A provider can report a problem that affects only some features, regions or accounts, which a check of the main address does not see. The live Cloudflare status shows what our checks see right now.
Does your product depend on Cloudflare?
An outage like this one reaches your users through your product, and most teams hear about it from a customer rather than from a dashboard. HostTracker watches any endpoint you name - your own site, an API you call, a vendor you resell - from 300+ locations, confirms a failure from several of them before it says anything, and then tells you by email, SMS, voice call or your chat tool.
You get the same record you are reading here for your own services: every outage timestamped, with the checks that observed it.
