I was having issues last night with Woolworths.co.nz and Countdown.co.nz, I assumed it was just their website but I signed in and found that Salesforce wouldn't load this morning, it would only partially load the page. Cleared cookies and cache, rebooted etc the usual stuff, same problem. I logged into my router, changed my DNS settings from Spark to CloudFlare then everything started working properly. Is there a known issue with Spark's DNS today?

Perhaps there were upstream issues with Akamai. All of those sites use Akamai.
Just tried Salesforce and able to login on Spark.

The issue occurred around 11:30am so it is possible that it is addressed now. Oh well, at least it is working - I may just keep it on Cloudflare DNS just in case.
