About Cloudflare problems

Cloudflare runs services that sit in front of many other websites, so a Cloudflare-branded error page can concern the website you were visiting rather than Cloudflare itself. Cloudflare documents errors such as 521, 522 and 524 as problems reaching or getting an answer from that website's own server. Check the Cloudflare status page for problems with Cloudflare's network or dashboard, and contact the website owner about origin errors.

Official information

Cloudflare official status page (verified )

Our check and Cloudflare's own status page can disagree. We test from one location and read only the homepage response. The provider reports what it knows about its own systems, such as sign-in, apps or single regions. A site can answer our check while one feature is broken, and a regional problem can affect one location but not another.

How this check works

  • One measurement location (single-self-hosted-probe), not a worldwide test.
  • We read only the response headers of the HTTPS homepage; page content and features are not tested.
  • We follow at most 5 HTTPS redirects and check every new address again.
  • The whole check stops after 10 seconds.
  • Results are reused for 60 seconds; this page refreshes its saved check at most every 10 minutes.

Typical Cloudflare problems

An editorial list of typical problems, not based on live user reports.

  • Web server is down (error 521) Cloudflare shows error 521 when the origin server behind a site refuses the connection, so the site owner needs to check that the web server runs and accepts Cloudflare's addresses. Guide: Cloudflare error 521: Web server is down
  • Connection timed out (error 522) Error 522 means Cloudflare could not complete a connection to the website's origin server in time, which points to an overloaded server or a firewall on the owner's side. Guide: Cloudflare error 522: Connection timed out
  • Origin answers too slowly (error 524) Error 524 appears when the origin accepted the connection but did not send a response in time, for example because a slow script or database query on the website ran too long. Guide: Cloudflare error 524: A timeout occurred
  • SSL handshake failed (error 525) Error 525 means Cloudflare could not set up a secure connection to the origin server, which the site owner fixes by correcting the certificate and SSL settings on that server. Guide: Cloudflare error 525: SSL handshake failed
  • Rate limited by a website (error 1015) Error 1015 means the website owner set a Cloudflare rate-limiting rule and your requests exceeded it, so wait a while before reloading. Guide: Cloudflare error 1015: You are being rate limited
  • Dashboard or API not responding Problems with the Cloudflare dashboard or API are separate from website traffic, so look at those components on the Cloudflare status page.

General fixes: Cloud and hosting

  1. Read the logs first Cloud dashboards keep logs for each deploy, function or sync. The first error in the log is a good place to start looking for the cause.
  2. Verify the DNS records If a custom domain fails, compare its DNS records with the values the provider shows. DNS changes can take time to reach every network.
  3. Check storage and quotas A full storage plan or a used-up quota stops syncs, uploads and deploys even when the service itself works.
  4. Separate one site from the provider If a single website shows an error page from its hosting or CDN provider, the cause can be that website's own server rather than a problem with the provider for everyone.
