London: Several major websites across the globe, including The Guardian, is currently down.
Amazon, Reddit and Twitch are also some of the major websites that are down.
The UK government website - gov.uk - was also down as were the Financial Times, the Guardian and the New York Times, reports BBC.
Affected websites displayed the message: "Error 503 Service Unavailable", the British website reported.
Cloud computing provider Fastly, which underpins a lot of major websites, is appearing to be the reason behind the trouble.
