If the status page takes between 30 seconds and 1 minute to load, requires you to refresh before you can see it, or fails to load completely such as with missing images, then the cloud provider is experiencing widespread problems in multiple regions and has only sporadic availability. 6. If the status page doesn't load at all, all services are down. Check the CEO's twitter page. 7.
