Industry news sourced where it breaks: provider newsrooms, trade press, community boards, status pages and CVE feeds, pulled nightly and reviewed by a human editor before anything is published. Briefs link straight to the original article; we summarise, we do not republish. Analysis pieces add what only a directory of 28,000+ hosts can: reliability scores, segment and country context.
Cloudflare has published data showing a measurable dip in internet traffic across Iceland, Spain and Portugal during the total solar eclipse of 12 August 2026. The pattern followed the path of totality, with traffic declining as the eclipse passed over each region, echoing similar effects Cloudflare has documented during previous eclipses.
Cloudflare Radar has reviewed internet disruptions recorded during the second quarter of 2026, covering outages linked to natural disasters, government-ordered shutdowns and DNSSEC key rollovers. Using traffic telemetry, Cloudflare examined how these events affected connectivity across different regions, offering a broader picture of the causes and patterns behind global internet instability during the period.
The news index is populated nightly from primary sources: provider newsrooms and blogs, independent trade press, community boards, provider status pages and vulnerability feeds. Briefs are drafted with AI assistance and every item is reviewed, edited and approved by a human editor before publication; nothing is published automatically. Briefs link out, so the original publisher gets the click and the credit, and no affiliate revenue is attached to news links. Syndication and partner sources receive no ranking consideration: the news layer and the HostList Reliability Index never touch.

Cloudflare has published research into BGP ORIGIN attribute manipulation, finding that a large majority of BGP paths tested show ORIGIN attribute rewrites carried out by transit providers to gain traffic advantages. The company examines the wider impact of this practice on the internet and argues for deprecating ORIGIN from route selection decisions.
Cloudflare has introduced Cache Response Rules, aimed at preventing content that should be served from cache from being sent back to the origin server due to stray Set-Cookie or Cache-Control headers. These headers can be hard to modify at the origin itself. The new rules apply at the appropriate stage to correct this behaviour.
