If Cloudflare isn’t working for you
Cloudflare is a network that sits in front of millions of websites, providing CDN, DNS, DDoS protection, security and developer services.
Common Cloudflare errors
| Error | What it means | Usually | What to do |
|---|---|---|---|
Error 500: internal server error | If the error page's HTML mentions cloudflare or cloudflare-nginx, the 500 came from Cloudflare itself; otherwise the website's own server produced it. | An outage | Check cloudflarestatus.com; if many unrelated sites show Cloudflare 500 pages at once, it is a Cloudflare incident. Source |
Error 520: web server returns an unknown error | The website's own server returned an empty, unknown or unexpected response to Cloudflare. | An outage | Visitors can only wait. Site owners should check origin server logs and crashes. Source |
Error 521: web server is down | Cloudflare could not connect to the website's origin server. | An outage | This is the site's server, not Cloudflare. Site owners should check that the origin is running and not blocking Cloudflare IPs. Source |
Error 522: connection timed out | Cloudflare timed out connecting to the website's origin server. | An outage | Usually the site's server is overloaded or blocking Cloudflare. Site owners should check origin load and firewall rules. Source |
Error 524: a timeout occurred | Cloudflare connected to the origin, but it did not send a response in time. | Heavy load | Site owners should look for slow requests or long-running processes on the origin. Source |
Error 1020: Access denied | A firewall rule set by the website blocked your request. | Your side | Contact the site owner; switching off a VPN can help if your IP was blocked. Source |
Is it just you?
- Read the error page: 52x errors name the website's server as the problem, not Cloudflare, unless many unrelated sites fail at once.
- Open two or three other sites that use Cloudflare; if they all fail, Cloudflare is having an incident.
- Error 1015 (you are being rate limited) and 1020 (access denied) come from the site's own rules applied to your IP.
- Turn off your VPN or switch networks if you see Cloudflare challenge loops on many sites.
- Check cloudflarestatus.com for incidents in specific data centers near you.
Alternatives to Cloudflare
Questions
Cloudflare's 52x error pages show whether the browser, Cloudflare and the host are working; errors like 521 and 522 mean the website's own server failed. When many unrelated sites show Cloudflare 500 errors at once, Cloudflare itself is down.
Cloudflare timed out connecting to the website's origin server. It is a problem with the website's hosting, so only the site owner can fix it.
A large share of websites route their traffic through Cloudflare for CDN, DNS and security. When a core Cloudflare service fails, all of those sites can become unreachable at once.
