I can't even load the status page.

Status page loads for me, it just incorrectly says all green: https://www.githubstatus.com/

Interesting, I'm used to using status.github.com, which got hit by whatever issue is hitting the main site.

Same. I'm in Europe and it loads slowly but it gets there.

GitHub should monitor their status page traffic for spikes, which probably mean something is wrong somewhere, even if they themselves haven't noticed yet.

Are these status pages updated manually? At the very least it should be able to detect that the home page doesn't even load and turn itself red.

So down right now...I wonder why they still use https://www.githubstatus.com/ that reports everything is alright when it's not!

Pretty much every company has been shown to have fake status pages at this point.

Yes, github status says all is operational but hacker news is faster. Go figure.

At this point I don't trust self-owned status pages at all - those crowd-sourced ones where users report issues are much faster to respond to outages that may never even go reported by status pages.
