Is Akamai down today?

Check the status badge at the top of this page for the current status. Pulsetic follows the official status page and cross-references it with user reports to give you the most accurate picture.

How often does Akamai go down?

Based on our 90-day data, we've recorded 29 incidents, of which 0 were major or critical. The median resolution time is 16h 3m.

How are outages detected?

Pulsetic follows the official status page and records the incidents the provider posts there. Crowdsourced user reports and Pulsetic's own synthetic checks add an early warning, which can surface an issue before the official status page mentions it.

Is it down for everyone or just me?

The outage map and region breakdown help answer this. If reports are concentrated in one area it may be regional; if hotspots appear globally it's a widespread outage. Submit your own report to help others understand the scope.

What does "never acknowledged" mean?

"Never acknowledged" means Pulsetic recorded a service disruption from user reports and its own checks, but the official status page never posted an incident for it. This is one of the core reasons teams use third-party monitoring alongside official status pages.

Origin Server Connectivity Issues with Elevated Errors in APAC Region

Started 2 weeks ago · Sep 22, 2026 · 1:19 PM UTC

Our upstream carrier continues to work on the maintenance of the impacted subsea cables. Although immediate impact has subsided, customers may still experience intermittent impact until the repair works are completed - the current estimate points to early October, 2026, subject to change. Customers and partners can find more details on the Akamai Community: https://community.akamai.com/customers/s/feed/0D5a700001V5RQqCAN. We will continue to monitor to ensure that the impact has been fully mitigated.
