Press & data
503Radar is an independent, ad-free outage monitor. It fuses public crowd signals with official status feeds; when it surfaces an incident before the provider acknowledges it, the gap is measured against the provider's own notice timestamp and published — and withheld whenever it can't be proven. Every confirmed outage keeps a permanent record, and every provider has a standing outage history.
Why the data holds up
honesty is the productConfirmed-only archive
Nothing enters the incident archive unless the engine confirmed it — corroborated crowd evidence or the provider's own status page. No synthetic events, ever.
Receipts on every number
Incident pages quote their crowd evidence with source links and link the official status record where one exists. A lead time is published only when our Signal was demonstrably live before the provider's notice, measured against the provider's own timestamp.
No ads, no tracking, no paywall
503Radar is independent and free. There is no incentive to inflate outages — a false alarm costs us the only asset we have.
Open methodology
The detection model — evidence classes, thresholds, confirmation rules — is public on the methodology page. "Healthy" means no current adverse signal, not an uptime guarantee.
