Methodology
Every outage in this report is a recorded event in our database — we mark a site as experiencing an incident when our automated HTTPS probe fails for two consecutive checks OR when crowd-sourced user reports spike to 5x or more above the 7-day baseline. Total downtime is computed from incident start time to resolution time. Sites currently ongoing at month-end have downtime calculated up to the report-generation moment. See the full methodology for the underlying algorithms.
