About StatusDetector

StatusDetector is a universal status search engine. We aggregate multiple signals — official status pages, live HTTP probes, and community reports — into a single confidence-scored view so you can quickly understand whether a service is down, degraded, or operating normally.

How confidence scoring works

Every status page shows a score from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate more evidence of an issue. The score combines:

Official status signals

Many services publish a machine-readable status page (Statuspage.io format). A "major outage" indicator adds +75 to the score; "partial outage" adds +60; "degraded performance" adds +45; maintenance adds +25 and shows a dedicated badge.

Live probe results

We probe each service's primary URL regularly from our infrastructure. Two or more consecutive failed probes adds +45; one failure adds +25. Slow responses (over 3 seconds) add +10.

Community reports

When users submit problem reports, we count reports within a 30-minute rolling window. Spikes of 5+ reports add +15; 10+ adds +25; 20+ adds +35.

Open incidents

If there is an unresolved incident tracked for the service, +30 is added to the score.

Final score is clamped to [0, 100]. Labels: Operational (0–19), Possible Issue (20–39), Likely Issue (40–69), Confirmed Issue (70–100). When there is not enough data, status shows as Unknown with 0% confidence.

Data sources

  • Official Statuspage.io APIs published by each service (where available)
  • Our own HTTP probes sent to service endpoints periodically
  • Anonymous community problem reports submitted through status pages
  • Manually curated status meaning definitions for shipping, payments, government, HTTP, and network errors

Privacy

We do not collect Social Security numbers, passport numbers, government case numbers, bank credentials, immigration IDs, or any other private identifiers. IP addresses used for rate-limiting are hashed server-side with SHA-256 and never stored in plain text. Read our full privacy policy.
