Weibo (weibo.com) experienced a 8h service disruption on September 16, 2026, starting at September 16, 2026 at 04:00 PM UTC and resolving at September 17, 2026 at 12:00 AM UTC. During the incident window, 9 of 11 automated HTTPS probes failed, confirming the outage. Among checks that did succeed, average response time was 2269ms — significantly elevated, suggesting partial degradation even during nominal uptime periods. The extended duration historically correlates with cloud-provider or DNS-level incidents rather than application-layer issues.
Incident details
Our checking infrastructure ran 11 automated HTTPS probes during this window (September 16, 2026 at 03:00 PM UTC through September 17, 2026 at 01:00 AM UTC).
