How GlobalOutageMap works

• Official status sources, what providers publish about their own services.
• Automated availability monitoring, our own checks on whether a service is reachable.
• Community signals, reports from visitors who notice something is broken.

Statuses are updated as new signals arrive. Each incident page shows which sources it is based on.

Our automated checks tell you whether a service looks reachable from the outside. That is useful early evidence, but it is not the same as the provider confirming an incident. When both exist, we show them side by side so you can judge for yourself.

Information here is best effort. Sources can be delayed, incomplete or occasionally wrong, and some providers publish very little. For decisions that matter, always cross-check the provider’s own channel.

Use the report link on any incident or provider page, or email [email protected]. We review every correction.

Where does GlobalOutageMap get its information?

From official provider status sources, our own automated availability monitoring, and signals reported by visitors. Every incident shows where the information came from.

How current is the information?

Statuses are updated as new signals arrive. Most changes appear within minutes, but some sources publish updates slowly.

Is automated monitoring the same as an official confirmation?

No. Automated monitoring shows whether a service looks reachable from our side. Only the provider can confirm an incident officially.

Something on the site is wrong. How do I report it?

Use the report link on the incident or provider page, or email [email protected]. We review every report.
