Due to the content delivery network Fastly Inc. The Internet was down, and many Internet sites, including the New York Times, Bloomberg News, Reddit, and the British government website, were unavailable on Tuesday. The content delivery network run by Fastly can quickly push data on the Internet.
The company stated that it had repaired the failure that caused its service to be interrupted globally near noon London time, about an hour after its initial disclosure of the failure. The websites that were inaccessible earlier in the day also seem to have been restored.
This failure shows that the most popular websites on the Internet rely on several large technology companies to help them distribute content and host users. Fastly is one of the few technology companies that serve as an advanced website and application hosting service that many large companies use to provide content to millions of users at the same time.

Downdetector, a website that tracks service outages across the Internet, reported that on Tuesday, websites including Amazon, Spotify, Twitch, Shopify and Etsy all experienced a surge in user-reported problems. Instead of hosting all website content on a set of servers in the same location, Fastly has cloud infrastructure in dozens of locations so that users can download content from the server closest to them.
Fastly’s stock price fell about 2.5% in pre-market trading. The San Francisco-based company’s stock price has soared by more than 300% in 2020. Representatives of Fastly did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
