About Outage.Report

Outage.Report is an independent outage monitor. When an app, website, or provider breaks, we show it — in real time, from the reports of people experiencing it — and keep a permanent record of every confirmed incident.

What this site does

One question brings almost everyone here: is it down, or is it just me? For every tracked service you get a live verdict, a chart of report volume, the problems people are reporting, a map of where reports come from, and the service's outage history.

Detection is automatic. User reports and social signals are compared against what is normal for each service at that time of day, and an incident is confirmed only when the volume is clearly anomalous. No editor decides what counts as an outage — the full methodology is on the press & citations page, where journalists will also find attribution guidelines.

Confirmed incidents become permanent dated records on the service's page — start time, peak, duration, severity, top problems — so a link to an outage keeps pointing at the outage it described.

Independence

Outage.Report is independently operated. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or paid by any service we track. Verdicts come from the data alone: a company cannot pay to change its status, and we do not delete incident records on request.

The site is supported by advertising. Advertisers have no influence on verdicts, records, or which services we track.
