Each region runs its own request from a different part of the world. A service can be up for one continent and down for another, which is usually the first sign of a routing or CDN problem.
What Wistia does
Wistia hosts and delivers video for marketing teams, providing embeddable players, viewer analytics, live events and lead capture inside the video itself. Businesses use it on product pages, for webinars and for gated content, so a Wistia outage is visible on customer-facing pages rather than internally. Its analytics also feed marketing systems that depend on those viewing events.
What an outage looks like
Embedded players on marketing pages show a spinner or fail to appear at all, leaving a gap in the page layout. Uploads complete but videos stay in encoding and never become playable. Live events fail to start or drop mid-broadcast, which cannot be repeated for the audience that missed it. Stats and transcripts stop updating while playback itself continues normally.
What to do about it
status.wistia.com tracks Embeds, Edit, wistia.com, Uploads, Encoding, Live, App, Stats, Group Record, Billing and Transcripts separately, so a viewer-facing failure is easy to tell from an internal one. Embeds is the row that matters when customers report a broken page. If a live event is scheduled during an incident, moving it beats starting into a degraded pipeline.
Is it down for everyone, or just you?

How we measure this
- We request Wistia's public endpoint every 6 hours from Fly.io regions across six continents — the most recent check ran from 8 of them.
- 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. We only change the 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 Wistia publishes an official status feed we read it too. An all-clear from the vendor can soften an unconfirmed degradation; a vendor-declared outage only worsens our verdict when our own checks corroborate it.
