“Error 503 Service Unavailable,” was the message that appeared on the affected websites.
A content delivery network (CDN) refers to a geographically distributed group of servers that work together to provide fast delivery of Internet content.
“We are continuing to investigate this issue. We’re currently investigating potential impact to performance with our CDN services,” Fastly said.
It was unclear if the glitch was due to a cyber-attack.
