Reddit went down across the globe again on Wednesday, with its front page serving up an error. Problems spiked at around 12:30 p.m. PT, with more than 5,400 reports of an outage, according to Down Detector.

"Our CDN (content delivery network) was unable to reach our servers," Reddit.com said.

Reddit's status page said it was investigating the issue, labelling it as a partial outage across the desktop and mobile sites, and its mobile app. In the last 90 days, Reddit also suffered outages on Oct. 30, Oct. 8, Sept. 16 and Aug. 31.

As of 1:30 p.m. PT, the site appeared to be back online.
