The core GTmetrix testing modes and features are up and running. This includes:

• API
  • Both our API versions (v0.1 and v2.0) are intermittently functional.
  • We are aware of Cloudflare challenges affecting API integrations for some users; we are looking into this and will provide an update when we have more details.
  • API tests that were launched during our outage would have failed, but not consumed any of your account’s API credits (i.e., your API credits should be intact).

You’ll also notice that currently we’ve enabled a Cloudflare challenge to authenticate you as a real-user before you can access GTmetrix. We will remove this in the near future.

We know this outage was disruptive (it was especially to us) so we appreciate the support and patience we’ve seen from our users while we weathered this storm.

We are continually monitoring our logs and teams are working through the night to restore full functionality over the coming days.

If you run across any other unexpected bugs or issues, please let us know.
