United States, live service status

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.
