Uptime This Week

Dribbble delivered complete service availability at 100% uptime over the seven-day monitoring window. Shutterstock's 0% uptime reading conflicts with its zero downtime minutes recorded, suggesting either a monitoring detection issue, persistent connectivity problem from Uptrue's vantage points, or service unavailability during the entire period.

Response Time

Dribbble's average response time of 323 milliseconds indicates acceptable performance for a design portfolio platform. Response time data for Shutterstock was unavailable due to the uptime issues preventing successful requests.

Incidents & Downtime

Both providers recorded zero incidents and zero total downtime minutes in Uptrue's logs. However, Shutterstock's 0% uptime metric suggests either undetected incidents or a fundamental accessibility issue not reflected in traditional incident counts.

Historical Context

Design and creative platforms typically maintain high availability given their role in creator workflows, though shared hosting and API-dependent architectures can introduce unpredictable failure modes.

Which Should You Choose?

For the week of 20 April 2026, Dribbble demonstrated reliable service. Shutterstock's 0% uptime reading warrants investigation with the provider before selection—verify whether this reflects actual service issues or monitoring anomalies on their end.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which provider is more reliable based on this data?

Dribbble showed 100% uptime with zero incidents, while Shutterstock recorded 0% uptime. However, the 0% reading should be verified directly with Shutterstock, as the zero downtime minutes suggests possible monitoring detection issues rather than actual continuous outages.

How often did Shutterstock go down during this period?

Uptrue's monitoring recorded zero downtime minutes for Shutterstock, yet the provider showed 0% uptime—a contradictory result. This likely indicates either persistent unavailability from Uptrue's monitoring location or a data collection anomaly requiring direct verification with the provider.

How does Uptrue collect this monitoring data?

Uptrue performs independent, continuous monitoring of service endpoints using synthetic requests. Data includes uptime percentage, response times, incident detection, and downtime totals collected from Uptrue's infrastructure—not from provider status pages or self-reported metrics.
