  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. resolved Oct 15, 2026, 09:34 PM UTC

    As of 2130 UTC we have restored traffic to our Dallas datacenter.

    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.
