Methodology
- Probe
- We send a GET request to the target URL with each probe method and time the full response.
- Counts as DOWN
- Every probe method fails the request (connect refused, DNS error, timeout, or HTTP 5xx).
- Counts as DEGRADED
- At least one probe method succeeds but at least one fails, the site is up but blocking or mishandling a specific request type.
- Detail
- Per-method results include HTTP status code, response time, and best-effort DNS / connect / TLS / first-byte phase timings when the Node HTTP client exposes them.
- Cadence
- Every 5 minutes, in parallel across 4 independent probe methods (HTTP/1.1 with strict TLS, HTTP/2, a browser User-Agent GET, and a curl-style HEAD) from our edge network. We check probe diversity, not geography — if a site blocks a non-browser User-Agent or only speaks HTTP/1.1, the four cards show it.
- Rate-limited targets
- If a host returns 429 or consistently drops connections from our IPs, we cap retries at 3 and report the last observed status, we do not flood the target to confirm the outage.
- Data source
- Our verdict is based on direct multi-method probes, every result above is a live network request, never a Twitter mention or DownDetector aggregate. User reports, when shown, appear separately below as a supplementary signal and are never used to determine the up/down verdict.
