I'm so used to proz.com not working properly that it took me a while to realize there were bigger issues at play, but it didn't affect my workflow.

The only site that didn't work for me on that day was ProZ and like Lieven said, I didn't even realise there was a bigger problem. I'm glad I didn't need to use KudoZ that day because that would have been very frustrating.

Today was even better! Dec 5, 2025

This time, way more people will have noticed the outage caused by Cloudflare - even Donwndetector was affected.
To me, this shows once more how vulnerable the entire internet is. This image from Reddit sums it perfectly up:

How the internet looked like this morning, including ProZ:
