SimpleBackups's official status page is https://simplebackups.instatus.com. Pingoru polls it every 5 minutes and renders the same data here, alongside every other cloud or SaaS provider you depend on — so you can spot multi-vendor incidents (e.g. AWS + Stripe + Cloudflare degrading at the same minute) without flipping between tabs.

SimpleBackups has degraded performance. Pingoru checks the official status page every 5 minutes and flips this headline the moment SimpleBackups reports a change. Current status is based on 14 tracked services.

We read https://simplebackups.instatus.com directly, using SimpleBackups's own status page. If the vendor reports an incident, you see it within one check cycle — not after someone manually marks the page as down.

Three common reasons: • A real SimpleBackups incident that hasn't been acknowledged on their public status page yet — vendor status pages are updated manually and typically lag the first customer reports by 10–30 minutes. • A regional or account-scoped issue affecting a subset of customers — these rarely trigger a global status-page change. • A local problem: ISP / DNS / your own software. Try reproducing from a mobile data connection and from a different network to isolate. If you suspect a real SimpleBackups issue that isn't reflected yet, contact their support to escalate. Subscribing here means you get the alert the moment they do post an update.

We use SimpleBackups's own status page at https://simplebackups.instatus.com and cross-reference their homepage (https://simplebackups.io). Nothing is read in a way the vendor hasn't explicitly made public — we use the same data their own dashboard uses. So our data is as accurate as what you'd see loading the status page yourself, but rolled into one dashboard alongside every other service you depend on.

SimpleBackups is reporting degraded performance — services are up but slower than usual, or a subset of requests is failing.
