If you're finding some websites slow or totally unresponsive, you're not alone. Much of the internet is currently impacted by outages.
Downdetector, a site that tracks user reports of site outages, is reporting dozens sites and services that are impacted in some way. These platforms certainly run the gamut: There are games, including Rocket League, Pokémon Go, and Dragon Ball; streaming services including Paramount+; cellular networks like Verizon and T-Mobile; and a number of Google platforms, including Gmail and Google Maps.
While Downdetector had listed Cloudflare and Amazon Web Services as part of the outage, it's not clear these services themselves were affected. Per a spokesperson, the only Cloudflare services affected were ones that used Google's hosting services. Meanwhile, an Amazon spokesperson tells me that none of its services were affected, and that you can check its service health here. A previous version of this article reported these two services were affected.
You can see these sites on Downdetector's front page. Though the list changes frequently, here's where things currently stand:
