About OutageHQ

What we monitor

We track over 90 services across categories including cloud platforms (Google, AWS, Azure), developer tools (GitHub, GitLab, Vercel), communication (Discord, Slack, Zoom), social media (X, Reddit, Instagram), streaming (YouTube, Netflix, Spotify), and e-commerce (Amazon, eBay, Shopify). Each service has a dedicated status page with live monitoring data, response time charts, and community outage reports.

How real-time updates work

Unlike traditional status pages that require manual refreshing, OutageHQ pushes live updates to your browser via server-sent events. The moment our system detects a status change — operational to degraded, degraded to down, or back to operational — you see it within seconds. Learn more about the monitoring pipeline.

Anonymous community reporting

If a service is not working for you, report it with a single click. No account, no email, no personal information collected. Community reports supplement our automated checks and help confirm whether an outage is widespread or limited to a specific region. Reports from the past 24 hours are displayed on each service page so you can see whether other users are experiencing the same issue.

Embeddable status widgets

You can also add live OutageHQ status badges to your own support pages, help center articles, internal wikis, or incident runbooks. Use the free widget builder to create an embed for a specific service such as GitHub, Slack, or Cloudflare.

Privacy by design

OutageHQ does not track users, set cookies, or collect personal information. Outage reports are fully anonymous — we store only a timestamp and the service ID, nothing that identifies you. Read the full privacy policy for details.
