A recent surge in website traffic has led to a temporary block by Cloudflare, a popular content delivery network (CDN). The issue resulted from 429 “Too Many Requests” errors, which are typically caused by excessive HTTP requests exceeding the allowed limit.
The excessive traffic was likely triggered by an unknown security vulnerability or malicious activity. As a result, Cloudflare temporarily blocked the website to prevent potential data breaches and protect its users.
Experts warn that this incident highlights the importance of website security and the need for adequate monitoring systems to detect anomalies in traffic patterns. It also underscores the risks associated with excessive HTTP requests and the potential consequences of ignoring these issues.
The block is expected to be lifted once the underlying issue is resolved, and the website will resume normal operations.
