About Basketball reference outages

What to do if Basketball reference is not working for you
Is it them or you?
Our last check reached basketball-reference.com normally, from a different network, resolver and route than yours. If it is broken for you, the fault is most likely local or too narrow for a single probe to see. Our next automated check runs within 20 minutes and this page updates with it.
The first thing worth trying
Do not resubmit an order you are unsure about. Confirmation emails run late under load. Check your order history before trying again, or you will buy it twice.
How shopping & delivery services typically fail
Products browse perfectly, the basket fails. Queue pages appear. Orders may complete but confirmation emails arrive hours later, which causes a second wave of duplicate orders from people who assumed failure. The rest of the steps, and why this category breaks the way it does, are on our shopping & delivery status page, with more background in what an overload error looks like.

An expired certificate stops browsers loading a site entirely while the server itself stays perfectly healthy, which is why we track it beside the uptime figure.
