As an aside, that's quite a nice and concise status page, considering the number of discrete services they provide.

And super easy for at least this colorblind individual to parse. I'm off to see if I can get Greasemonkey to swap out the icons for icons like these on the AWS status page.

  Outage is a red triangle for anyone wondering. Apple doesn't show non-current states in their legend. There's a screenshot in the comments of https://www.macrumors.com/2020/09/29/apple-icloud-services-issues/ https://www.macrumors.com/2020/09/29/apple-icloud-services-i...

  Sadly, an individual on an older device who is browsing with JS disabled for accessibility reasons (else most of the web freezes up the device and takes down the web browser) is not able to access this basic information.

    Have you ever checked out uMatrix? It's a chrome plugin that lets you control which javascript can run on a page (and allow some by default across the web based on where it's loaded from).

        It still works though. I realize it's not a perfect solution, but I was just trying to offer another option.

        There is a fork 'nuTensor' with stated intention of continuing development/maintenance (with a Firefox focus): https://github.com/geekprojects/nuTensor https://github.com/geekprojects/nuTensor

      That's a nice idea, but it's not a solution. The real solution is to make content accessible, rather than depending on JavaScript. Apple has terrible form in this regard.

The most important feature (and most difficult to implement) of a status page is that it works.
