Cloudflare's Degradation: A Timely Reminder That Diversification and Reliability Are Key

The internet relies on consistency, but today’s events serve as a stark reminder that even the biggest players can stumble.

As of today, November 18, 2025, at 11:48 UTC, Cloudflare is experiencing an internal service degradation, impacting various services intermittently. For organizations that rely on Cloudflare for their core Content Delivery Network (CDN) and security services, this outage represents more than just an inconvenience - it’s a direct hit to operations, reputation, and revenue.

At Procufly, as an established software reseller and IT distributor, we speak from extensive experience: relying solely on a single global provider, no matter how dominant, creates an unacceptable single point of failure.

Why Cloudflare is Not the Only Option

The CDN market is mature, diverse, and robust. While the largest names often dominate the conversation, focusing only on them means missing out on solutions that can offer better regional performance, superior specialization, and - critically - the resilience that comes from a diversified portfolio.

Inspired by the need for more tailored and regional solutions, we consistently advise our clients to look beyond the monoliths. Alternatives, particularly specialized or geographically focused providers—such as strong European CDN alternatives offer several key advantages:

1. Resilience Through Diversification: A well-planned multi-CDN strategy ensures that traffic can be intelligently shifted away from any provider experiencing an outage, guaranteeing continuous service for your users.
2. Regional Performance and Compliance: Niche CDNs often offer superior performance and lower latency within specific regions, coupled with better adherence to local data privacy regulations (like GDPR).
3. Specialized Capabilities: Many alternative providers excel in niche areas like high-performance video streaming, advanced edge computing, or specialized security features that a generalist might overlook.
