How often does Buffer go down?

Based on our 90-day data, we've detected 28 incidents, of which 11 were major or critical. The median resolution time is 1h.

How are outages detected?

Pulsetic polls the official status page every few minutes from multiple global locations. Crowdsourced user reports provide an additional early-warning signal, often surfacing issues before the official monitors catch them.

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 detected a real service disruption, confirmed by multiple user reports, 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.
