80-day clean streakMeasured by FlareWarden's own checks of flickr.com from multiple regions every 6 hours. Flickr's status page sets the verdict above when it reports trouble, but never these figures. Percentages count only checks that returned an availability answer — 80 days measured so far. A dash means that window does not yet hold enough measured days to publish a figure.
What Flickr does
Flickr hosts photographs for hobbyists and professionals, with groups, licensing and a long-standing public archive. Many people treat it as the durable home for photo collections built over years, and its images are hotlinked across the web, so an outage breaks pictures on sites that never mention Flickr.
What an outage looks like
Photo and video serving fails, so images break on Flickr and on any external site embedding them. Uploads stall or fail partway through a batch, leaving a set half transferred. Search returns nothing while browsing works. Login fails, blocking access to private photos. Stats stop updating, and print orders through the Prints component error at checkout.
What to do about it
Check status.flickr.net, which reports Photo and Video Serving, Uploads, Search, Login, Stats, the API and Prints as separate components, so broken images do not always mean uploading is affected. Pause a large upload rather than restarting it, since a partly transferred set can produce duplicates when the batch is run again from the beginning.
Is it down for everyone, or just you?
If this page says Flickr is up but it is not loading for you, the problem is between you and them. Run a check against any URL from up to 17 cities across three regions to find out where it breaks.

How we measure this
- We request Flickr's public endpoint every 6 hours from Fly.io regions across six continents — the most recent check ran from 8 of them. When you open this page and our last check is more than 30 minutes old, we check again on the spot; those checks update the verdict, never the availability figures.
- A region counts as down only when it gets no usable HTTP response. A
403or429means the origin answered and refused us, which we report as blocked, never as an outage. - A single failing region is treated as probe noise. Our checks only change their verdict when two consecutive cycles agree.
- Response times average only the regions that actually served the page, so a timeout never inflates the number.
- Where Flickr publishes an official status feed we read it too, and the verdict is the worse of what it reports and what our checks see: a major outage of Flickr itself is Down, trouble with one part of it is Degraded, problems at a few of a provider's many locations change nothing, and a security notice that marks nothing down is shown but changes nothing either. We check the feed every 3 minutes and read it again within minutes of any change to its incidents or components; a reading counts for 45 minutes after the last check that found nothing changed. The availability figures above are our measurement alone.

We check Flickr every 6 hours, and again when you open this page if that was more than 30 minutes ago. Your own monitors run as often as every 30 seconds, from up to 17 cities across three regions, and tell you the moment something breaks.
