Recovery tracker
No recent recovery can be established from available evidence.
0 consecutive successful checks within the last 30 minutes. These checks measure the public website; they cannot establish recovery of every feature.
Slowdown detection
More successful checks are needed to establish a response-time baseline.
Recent median: unknown · Earlier median: unknown. Flags require at least 3 recent and 5 earlier checks, more than twice the baseline, and at least 500 ms extra latency. Slowness alone does not identify server load as the cause.
