The other days Cloudflare outage wasted a few hours of my day - not because the outage was confusing, but because my monitoring stack was basically gaslighting me.
Everything lit up red. Every DOWN alert fired. But none of it told me whether the issue was:
StayUp.dev is a tiny tool I built after Cloudflare's outage cooked our monitoring. Instead of another ping tool, it actually tells you why your site looks down - origin dead, CDN failing, DNS slow, SSL expiring, etc. Free diagnostic tool, plus £9/mo monitoring + instant alerts if Cloudflare/CDN breaks.
