Over the last 7 days, Akamai has answered our automated checks with 100.00% availability and a typical response time of ~1099 ms. The most recent outage began 2026-08-01 10:54 UTC and lasted 1h 20m (severity: degraded).

Akamai runs one of the oldest and largest content delivery and edge security networks, plus DNS and cloud compute after the Linode acquisition. Because so much enterprise traffic and DNS resolution passes through it, its incidents tend to look like broad internet-wide breakage rather than one site failing.

What to do if Akamai is down for just you
  • Check whether the problem is limited to one region before assuming a global outage, since most cloud incidents are regional.
  • Query a second DNS resolver (1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8) to rule out a resolution problem rather than a provider one.
  • Test from a different network or a machine outside the affected region, which separates a routing issue from a service issue.
  • Look at the provider's own per-service dashboard below, as one product can be degraded while everything else is healthy.
