The primary event occurred at **10:25 UTC** (155 affected requests), with a smaller event at **06:00 UTC** (37 affected requests). Separately, habseclipse.lionwise.co.uk experienced SSL handshake failures (525) throughout the day, indicating a TLS configuration issue on that subdomain's origin. --- ## Incident 1 — Origin Unresponsive (10:25 UTC) **Severity:** High **Duration:** ~1 minute **Affected host:** lionwise.co.uk ### What Happened At 10:25 UTC, the origin server for lionwise.co.uk accepted connections but returned empty or invalid responses for 155 requests, triggering Cloudflare 520 errors. Users would have seen a Cloudflare error page instead of a response from the origin. ### Likely Cause - Origin server resource exhaustion under load (CPU, memory, or connection limits) - Web server process crash or restart - Upstream dependency failure causing malformed responses --- ## Incident 2 — Origin Unresponsive (06:00 UTC) **Severity:** Medium **Duration:** ~1 hour window **Affected host:** lionwise.co.uk ### What Happened 37 requests received 520 errors — the origin accepted connections but returned invalid responses. This may be an earlier manifestation of the same instability that peaked at 10:25 UTC. --- ## Incident 3 — SSL Handshake Failures on habseclipse.lionwise.co.uk **Severity:** Medium **Duration:** Intermittent throughout the day **Affected host:** habseclipse.lionwise.co.uk | Time (UTC) | Count | Issue | |---|---|---| | 15:00 | 18 | SSL handshake failed (525) | | 14:00 | 6 | SSL handshake failed (525) | | 03:00 | 1 | SSL handshake failed (525) | | 06:00 | 1 | SSL handshake failed (525) | ### What Happened Cloudflare could not complete an SSL/TLS handshake with the origin for habseclipse.lionwise.co.uk on 26 occasions across the day. Users would have seen an SSL connection error. ### Likely Cause - Expired or invalid SSL certificate on the origin server - TLS version mismatch between Cloudflare and the origin - Origin server not listening on port 443 --- ## Summary of Impact | Incident | Host | Error | Affected Requests | Time (UTC) | |---|---|---|---|---| | Origin unresponsive | lionwise.co.uk | 520 | 155 | 10:25 | | Origin unresponsive | lionwise.co.uk | 520 | 37 | 06:00 | | SSL handshake failure | habseclipse.lionwise.co.uk | 525 | 26 | 03:00–15:00 | **Total user-facing errors:** 218
