Hosting for static sites and front ends.
This is what our probe sees when it requests Netlify's public homepage, once a minute, from our US West region. It is not Netlify's own status page, we have no relationship with them, and we can only see what any visitor could.
So a service can look fine here while a specific feature, region or account is broken — we're checking the front door, not every room. It cuts the other way too: every check is made once, from that one region, with nothing in a second region re-checking it, so a bad network path on our side — or a service that turns datacenter traffic away — can read as an outage here while real visitors are fine.
We only call something down after 3 failed checks in a row — about 2 minutes of continuous failure — which is why we'd rather be a few minutes late than publish a wrong outage about someone.
Same product, pointed at your site instead. Want to hear next time, before your customers do? We'll watch it free — 25 monitors, no card — or run a one-off check now with the free tools.
