The somewhat-recently launched StackStatus website requires www in order to properly resolve. Without it, the connection to the website will eventually time out.

For clarity:

This is inconsistent with current network-wide practices, for example on Stack Overflow, where https://stackoverflow.com/ resolves correctly.

I recognized this when I attempted to navigate to the site via the link provided in this recently-featured announcement. I've adjusted the link there to use the currently-working URL for the time being.

Could the URL without www preceding it be adjusted to resolve to the Stack Status site?

While we won't be able to immediately address the behavior of the URL without www. (ref: Josh's comment), I have created a work item internally to ensure that all of our outward-facing links to the status page are presented with https:// and www.. Currently this is inconsistent in our codebase, primarily because many of the "offline" pages are - by definition and necessity - static HTML files that don't pull from some common environment variable or database.

That work is now complete as of 2022-11-28, described here:

That said, for the reported symptom in this report will be separate, and currently has no defined timeline.

FYI: https://www.isstackoverflowdownforeveryoneorjustme.com works with and without HTTPS, with and without "www."

  • uh... that's a long link. A shorter one would be better... something like: issedown.com
