Why are Reddit, Twitter, Amazon, Twitch, and many more are websites down?

This morning, Internet users across the world encountered major problems with various websites.

Websites such as Amazon, Twitter, Google, Spotify, eBay, PayPal, and Reddit have experienced issues and many more websites down.

Entertainment website Reddit reported issues with websites and mobile apps, and the outage tracker Down Detector said at least 12,000 people reported problems.

Other websites such as Twitter, Amazon, PayPal, and Spotify have also encountered problems.

The use of emoji and multimedia on Twitter is not appearing correctly for some users on mobile devices and desktop computers.

On Amazon, it seems that all images have disappeared from their website.

It is unknown what caused the outage, and so far, no affected websites have published any official news on social media. The finger points to some large CDN and cache providers.
