Downdetector, website to check outages, goes down due to Cloudflare outage

Downdetector, a website that detects when services suffer outages, went down on Saturday after Cloudflare, a web-infrastructure and website-security service that Downdetector relies on to stay online, suffered an outage. It kept notifying people about the outages across the world, including that of Cloudflare, on Twitter. "A router in Atlanta had an error that caused bad routes," Cloudflare said.
