How reliably GitHub answered us
The check above is one request, right now. This is how often GitHub answered our checks over the last 30 days.
Every 10 minutes we send GitHub an unauthenticated request from one region (AWS us-east-1) and record whether it answers. That tells you whether GitHub was reachable, not whether it worked: errors that only happen once you are signed in and doing real work, such as a model failing or a request dying halfway, never reach our check, and neither does a regional outage that misses us. GitHub’s official status page counts more of those, so its uptime figures can be lower than this one.
Get alerted when GitHub breaks your app.
If your product or your team depends on GitHub, its outage is your outage, and your users will blame you, not GitHub. Point a Site Qwality monitor at the GitHub endpoint you actually rely on, put your own site next to it, and we alert you on Slack, email, SMS or any webhook the moment either one stops answering.
Questions, answered.
When you load this page we send a real request to github.com from our server and report exactly what came back: the HTTP status code and the response time. We deliberately check a service endpoint rather than a marketing homepage, because a company’s brochure site often stays up while the product behind it is broken. A normal response means it’s reachable; a server error or a timeout suggests trouble. Results are cached for up to 60 seconds, so hit “re-check” for a fresher read.
Our check passing means GitHub answered us, from our location. Outages are often regional, or specific to one network, browser, or account. If it’s broken only for you, try another network or device, and check the GitHub official status page above.
Yes. Site Qwality monitors any URL as fast as every 30 seconds and pings you on Slack, Discord, Teams, email, SMS or any webhook the moment it goes down. It’s free to start: create a monitor in under two minutes.
