Minor October 15, 2026 WP Cloud - DFW cooling issues 5h 19m
Started Oct 15, 2026, 04:14 PM UTC· resolved Oct 15, 2026, 09:34 PM UTC
- investigating Oct 15, 2026, 04:14 PM UTC
We are shifting sites hosted in DFW to their real-time replicas in other origins due to facility cooling issues. No action is required from hosts or users. We are awaiting updates from the data center operator regarding the facility’s cooling systems.
- monitoring Oct 15, 2026, 07:17 PM UTC
The cooling issue in our DFW data center has been resolved. Sites are still serving from their replicas while we monitor trends and prepare to return traffic to DFW. DFW sites being served from their secondary servers may experience temporarily slower performance while traffic is redistributed.
- resolved Oct 15, 2026, 09:34 PM UTC
As of 2130 UTC we have restored traffic to our Dallas datacenter.

During a routine upgrade, some WP Cloud servers entered a read-only state from approximately 14:25 to 14:50 UTC. Affected sites continued serving traffic, and no data was lost. File uploads, plugin updates, and other filesystem changes were unavailable until normal access was restored. We are monitoring the affected servers and verifying the full list of impacted hosts.

Between 1510 and 1536 UTC a small subset of sites hosted on the WP Cloud platform experienced increased latency and errors for uncached requests. The underlying cause is a software bug that was triggered on multiple hosts in multiple data centers at the same time. We have restored connectivity to the affected hosts and are currently investigating the root cause of the issue.

- resolved Feb 26, 2026, 08:35 AM UTC
Between 08:25 and 08:35 UTC, a subset of sites, located in the WP Cloud BUR datacenter , experienced 500 errors. The issue was caused by a recent change that led to failures under specific conditions. We reverted the change within approximately 5 minutes, and full recovery followed shortly after. Depending on the affected server, the impact lasted between 5 and 10 minutes. We have since reviewed the incident and are implementing additional safeguards to improve detection and reduce risk during future deployments.
