BigScoots Outage

BigScoots reports that all issues have been resolved as of 12:25am PST. Things are looking good from here as well, so we’ll mark this as resolved. If you run into any other issues, please reach out via email.

A small percentage of sites are still reported down. BigScoots is continuing to work on the issue.

We’ll check back in the morning!

We’re still seeing a small percentage of sites offline. BigScoots has confirmed the same and is continuing to work on it.

If your site is back up, we continue to recommend not making changes to your site just yet, to avoid clearing caches.

Sites are back up! 🎉

We are continuing to monitor the situation.

In the meantime, we recommend not editing/publishing content just yet, so as to avoid clearing caches…just in case this isn’t fully resolved.

BigScoots has posted a status update here:

It confirms that this evening’s outage is related to the network maintenance performed last night, and they are working to bring everything back online.

We are continuing to monitor the situation, but do not have an ETA.

Now’s a good time to point out that any pages that were cached at Cloudflare or Sucuri (which will usually be your most popular pages) will still be served by the cache to logged-out visitors.

We recommend that when sites start coming back online, that you do not immediately start editing/publishing content, so as to avoid clearing caches before things have fully stabilized.

BigScoots appears to be having an outage. They’re confirmed to us that they are aware of the situation and are working on it – so there’s no need to contact them.

We don’t know any other details at this time, but we’ll update here when we learn more.
