Catchpoint announced the launch of a powerful, free live Global Internet Outage Map. The AI-powered dashboard provides a real-time snapshot of the health of hundreds of global internet services that power our everyday lives. The free, interactive tool provides anyone with quick visibility into outages that may be impacting businesses, sites, or other internet services. The Live Internet Outage Map is available to everyone — no registration required — and provides real-time, global data from the past 24 hours, sampling hundreds of services monitored by Catchpoint’s powerful Internet Sonar capability, which provides deeper insights for paying customers. The global health map provides valuable insights into the health of many Internet services and platforms, including social media (Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, etc.), eCommerce (Amazon, Apple, Walmart, etc.), finance (Visa, PayPal, Bank of America, etc.), entertainment (Netflix, Disney Plus, Spotify, etc.), travel (airlines, hotels, booking sites, etc.), and more. This access empowers users with critical, up-to-the-minute information on Internet performance and stability around the world. The Live Internet Outage Map empowers users to proactively respond to outages that could disrupt business operations. Unlike other trackers that rely on delayed, crowd-sourced reports, Catchpoint's map utilizes data from millions of real-time tests conducted on the world's largest independent active observability network. This results in an AI-powered real-time, interactive status report.
Key Benefits of the Live Internet Outage Map: ■ Real Data, Not Crowd-Sourced: The map relies on comprehensive, real-time data from advanced tests, instead of subjective user reports, ensuring accuracy and reliability free from human error. ■ Live Updates with No Delay: Users receive immediate outage information without waiting for third-party providers to post (often) delayed reports, providing timely insights when they are needed most. ■ Accuracy from Millions of Tests and Billions of Data Points: Our data is derived from numerous tests run on Catchpoint’s industry-leading Global Observability Network and curated by our advanced AI correlation engine, a powerful combination unmatched by any other service. ■ Reduction of False Positives: Internet Sonar’s AI analytics engine carefully examines outage data to validate results, avoiding inaccuracies that can mislead decision-making. Global Internet Leaders — including the top CDNs, ISPs, cloud hyperscalers, and online retailers — rely on Catchpoint Internet Performance Monitoring to run their business and to ensure the performance and resilience of their services. The Internet Outage Map relies on the same technology to provide accurate, real-time data to everyone. “With the release of our Live Internet Outages Map, Catchpoint is delighted to be able to offer to the community for free, real-time, global insights into the health of some of the world’s biggest Internet platforms, from Facebook to Amazon,” said Mehdi Daoudi, CEO of Catchpoint. “By providing a subset of the features from Internet Sonar, we hope to provide businesses the insights they need to answer the question, ‘Is it me or something else?’ Visibility into the health of Internet Infrastructure, SaaS, and MarTech is key to staying competitive.” The full version of Internet Sonar monitors thousands of additional Internet services in additional categories, including Internet Infrastructure (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, etc.), SaaS (AlaaS, UCaaS, SECaS, etc.), Marketing Technology (analytics, ad serving, video, etc.), API and Developer Tools and more. The full platform also allows for customizable timeframes, generates detailed notifications, and integrates seamlessly with various systems via webhook or API. These alerts significantly reduce Mean Time to Identification (MTTI) and Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR), streamlining incident diagnosis and resolution.
