Media website Independent is also affected by this issue. It is believed that this problem has come due to the Fastly Content Delivery Network (CDN) which serves these websites.
Content Delivery Network (CDN) is an important part of the Internet infrastructure. CDNs, which are said to be an important part of the Internet's infrastructure, are used to host sites and their content on the Internet.
This is how CDNs work,
TechCrunch reported in its report that shows that CDNs 'act as proxy servers and cache some data as close to the end-user as possible.' Notably, the global outage was confirmed by Fastly a CDN provider on its status website.
For example, media content is often cached on a CDN server near you so that every time a user loads a web page, it doesn't need to be fetched on the original server.
Over time, CDNs have started adding more features, such as load balancing, DDoS protection, web applications, firewalls, and many more security features.
Popular CDNs include Fastly, Cloudflare, CloudFront on Amazon Web Services, and Akamai. Fastly is quite famous with media websites. The company went public in the year 2019.
