Why can't I access many websites? Recent network hot spots and fault analysis
In the past 10 days, many users reported being unable to access some websites, including social media, news platforms and even some government websites. This phenomenon has triggered extensive discussions. This article will combine hot topics and data analysis across the Internet to sort out possible causes and countermeasures for you.
1. The correlation between recent hot topics and network failures

| time | hot events | may affect |
|---|---|---|
| October 25, 2023 | A cloud service provider experienced a large-scale outage | Websites that rely on this service are inaccessible |
| October 28, 2023 | International network line failure | Overseas websites are delayed or unable to connect |
| November 1, 2023 | DNS resolution abnormality of a domestic operator | Some users cannot resolve domain names |
2. Common reasons why the website cannot be accessed
1.Server down or overloaded: A recent failure of a cloud service provider caused the paralysis of multiple websites around the world. Such problems usually require waiting for the service provider to fix them.
2.DNS resolution problem: If the DNS server fails, the domain name entered by the user cannot be converted into an IP address. You can try changing the DNS (such as 8.8.8.8 or 114.114.114.114).
3.Network line failure: Interruptions in international optical cables or local operator lines may cause regional access abnormalities.
4.Policy adjustments or content review: Some websites have been temporarily blocked due to compliance issues. Please pay attention to official announcements.
3. Countermeasures that users can take
| Question type | Solution |
|---|---|
| Server down | Visit a third-party status monitoring website (such as downforeveryoneorjustme.com) to confirm |
| DNS failure | Set public DNS manually or flush cache using command line (ipconfig/flushdns) |
| Network line problem | Switch mobile network/WiFi, or use VPN to test |
4. The correlation between recent hot content and network stability
1.Traffic surges during Double Eleven pre-sale period: E-commerce platform server pressure may cause ancillary services (such as payment gateways) to be temporarily unavailable.
2.Global cyber attacks occur frequently: In late October, many countries reported DDoS attacks, which paralyzed some websites.
3.Testing of new network monitoring technologies: Users in some areas report that some websites are inaccessible during specific periods of time, which may be related to technical upgrades.
5. In-depth analysis of technical aspects
According to network monitoring data, the distribution of main fault types in the past 10 days is as follows:
| Fault type | Proportion | average recovery time |
|---|---|---|
| Cloud service failure | 42% | 3.5 hours |
| DNS problem | 28% | 1.2 hours |
| cyber attack | 17% | more than 6 hours |
6. Expert advice and future prospects
Network security experts pointed out: With the arrival of the traffic peak at the end of the year, it is recommended that website operators conduct stress tests in advance, and ordinary users can install multiple browsers as backup. It is expected that network stability will improve as the major shopping festivals end in mid-to-late November.
If you continue to encounter access problems, you can provide feedback through the following channels: operator customer service, National Internet Emergency Center (CNCERT) or the website’s official social media account.
