The ErrorDetector column is the product as shipped today: every number comes from the same constants the app enforces. A StatusCake cell appears only with a source and the date we checked it; we do not restate StatusCake's plans from memory. Their plans change — the link in each unverified cell goes to their current page.

Questions people ask when switching

Does ErrorDetector measure page speed like StatusCake?

It records the response time of every check and alerts when a monitor exceeds the limit you set; it does not run a browser and does not produce a page-speed score. Nothing is invented to fill that gap.

What does "names the failure" add over an up/down check?

Every incident carries the cause in plain words (DNS never resolved, TLS handshake failed, connection refused, HTTP 502 from the proxy) plus what that usually means and what to check first. The same explanations are public under /learn.
