Akamai Status FAQ

Is Akamai down right now?

PulsAPI checks Akamai every 60 seconds. The verdict at the top of this page comes from the latest poll of the official Akamai status feed and refreshes automatically, so you are not looking at a stale cached answer.

What should I do if Akamai is not working?

Check the component list on this page first to see if your failure matches a known outage. If it does, you can report the issue for other engineers, follow the incident timeline for vendor updates, and run any fallback your app supports until Akamai recovers.

How do I check Akamai uptime history?

PulsAPI tracks Akamai uptime over 30, 60, and 90-day rolling windows. The current 30-day uptime is 99.72%. A free PulsAPI account unlocks the full 90-day SLA history and incident timeline for Akamai.

How fast does PulsAPI detect Akamai outages?

PulsAPI polls the official Akamai status page every 60 seconds and usually delivers alerts to Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, or email in under 4 seconds after detection. That is often faster than someone on your team notices on their own.

Does PulsAPI track individual Akamai components?

Yes. PulsAPI monitors 42 individual Akamai components, so you can see which service or region is affected instead of a generic "service degraded" banner.

Can I get alerts when Akamai goes down?

Yes. Create a PulsAPI account and subscribe to Akamai. Email alerts are included on the free Starter plan. Paid plans add Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, and webhooks whenever Akamai status changes.

How do I report an issue with Akamai to the community?

Click "Report an issue" at the top of this page, pick the issue type and severity, and optionally add your region and a short note. Reports are anonymous and help other engineers spot Akamai problems early. Official status pages often lag real incidents by 10 to 20 minutes.

Is there a free way to monitor Akamai?

Yes. PulsAPI's Starter plan includes up to 25 monitored services with Slack and email alerts, and the 30-day free trial requires no credit card. You can monitor Akamai alongside up to 24 other services at pulsapi.com/signup.
