CDN outage
12 October 2026
As many of you are aware, we, and everyone else, are dealing with a huge increase in automated traffic and hacking attempts driven by the AI revolution.
While working to harden our security in recent weeks, some CDN nodes were inadvertently caught up in an automated block list and this resulted in a some websites, including this website, not displaying styles for a short while.
This was due to the CDN not being able to fetch and cache various CSS, JavaScript and image files during while it was blocked.
The web server itself and all website operations continued to function unaffected and there was never any threat to website files or data.
We have taken steps to prevent a reoccurrence, but please let us know if your website loses styling at any time.
