The problem with downdetector is that people say something is down when really it's another service. Like with Cloudflare, a lot of the comments are simply that a website was down giving an CF error, but in reality it was probably not CF that was down but an underlying service.
- feyman_r 6y agoAgree on the CF part. I found it interesting that the downdetector page had other cloud-providers like Google and AWS showing error spikes at around the same time.

- dzhiurgis 6y agoI assume downdetector can isolate region, run a traceroute to at least at some extent analyse source of network issues?
