  1. notice

    Fastly will be adding capacity at our Manchester (MAN) POP. End-users may observe connection resets as traffic is migrated onto new hardware starting on 10 November 2026 at 00:00 UTC. Our estimated duration is 4h. When this change is applied, customers may observe additional origin traffic as new cache nodes retrieve content from origin. Please verify that your origin access lists allow the full range of Fastly IP addresses (https://docs.fastly.com/en/guides/accessing-fastlys-ip-ranges). Customers with any questions or concerns should contact Fastly’s Support team at https://support.fastly.com.

What this means for a business

  • Check whether your own website is affected before telling customers.
  • Do not restart or rebuild servers to fix a provider outage; it will not help.
  • Keep the status page open; providers post updates every 15 to 30 minutes during an incident.
