It seems to be a static site, which seems reasonable since it aggregates a lot of data and might encounter high load when something goes wrong, so generating it live without caching is not viable. So maybe the server that normally updates it is down too (not that this would be a good excuse)?

10+ hours cache on a status page doesn't look like real-time monitoring to me.

I think this is probably linked to a manual reporting system and they got bigger fish to fry at the moment than updating this status page.

Counterpoint: There's a constantly updating timestamp at the top of the page that suggests it's automated and real time.
