## Timeline of updates

- **resolved** 2018-01-20 23:58 UTC: We looked into the cause of a connectivity issue at the CDN level that affected a large number of Netlify sites. We detected a DDoS attack against our CDN. The DDoS was mitigated but we looked into potential slowdowns as an after effect. We continued to monitor and everything was operating normally.
