Zerodha users faced login errors, chart loading failures, and order placement delays on Thursday after a massive global outage at Cloudflare affected multiple financial and non-financial platforms worldwide.
What caused Zerodha to go down?
The disruption was triggered by Cloudflare — a global internet infrastructure provider that powers routing, security, DNS, and performance optimisation for thousands of companies.
When Cloudflare experiences an outage, apps and websites dependent on it struggle to connect.
Zerodha acknowledged the issue, stating:
“We are currently experiencing intermittent issues due to a Cloudflare outage impacting services globally.”
This outage impacted several major platforms including:

During the outage, many Zerodha users reported:

Zerodha’s update:
“Our services have been restored. Thank you for your patience.”
Trading, charting, and order execution are functioning normally.
