How we measured this

The US readings on this page come from RealUptime's own Ashburn, San Jose, and Chicago probes against Wikipedia's public endpoints. They are not user reports, and they are not Wikipedia's own status page.

See Wikipedia's full measured status, the 90-day history by region, or the outage tracker methodology.
