If I’m understanding this correctly, this third party status page for GitHub is hosted on GitHub Pages and is powered by GitHub Actions…
As diabolical as it is, this is kind of fine; this site creates an aggregate stat from the existing status page, it doesn't provide an independent status page.
So it inherits GitHub's world class one-9 uptime.
I think you're correct. Kinda clever, actually.
Except if GitHub goes down the status page will also be down. Actually that is also indication of status so it kind works. :)
So technically Github is not missing a status page like this website claims: their status page is https://www.github.com .
Github getting that fabled single 9 of uptime.
