Judge.me risk in the next 24 hours
StatusBird's stack risk model puts the chance of any Judge.me degradation in the next 24 hours at 36% (high) and the chance of a major or critical outage at 8% (elevated). It is scored every 10 minutes from four inputs: how often Judge.me has had an episode over the last 180 days, whether it has had one in the last 24 hours or 7 days, how often its degradations turn into major outages, and whether the infrastructure it runs on is having trouble right now.
- 24 degraded-or-worse episodes in the last 180 days
- an episode in the last 7 days; incidents cluster
- no major outages in the last 180 days
- runs on cloudflare, which is in a major incident now; downstream services misbehave about twice as often in the following hour

What to do when Judge.me is down
When Judge.me goes down, do three things first: confirm the outage is on their side, protect whatever the outage is breaking in your store, and tell affected customers before they find out the hard way. This playbook walks through each step for Judge.me specifically.
How do I confirm Judge.me is actually down?
Check two independent sources before changing anything in your store. First, StatusBird's live Judge.me status page, which is based on independent checks every 2 minutes. Second, Judge.me's own status page at status.judge.me. If the official page still shows green, do not assume you are wrong: vendors often acknowledge incidents well after they start. If both look clean, the problem is more likely your store's configuration or a specific integration.
What does a Judge.me outage look like?
- Star ratings missing under product titles across the store
- Review widget area on product pages blank or showing a loading spinner
- Judge.me admin dashboard unreachable
- Customers reporting errors when submitting a review
- Slower product page rendering while the widget script times out
What breaks in your store
When Judge.me is down, its widgets fail to load, so product pages show missing star ratings and empty spaces where the review list should render. Shoppers see products with no social proof, which can depress conversion, especially for stores that lean heavily on review counts. Review request emails scheduled during the outage may be delayed, and customers clicking review links from past emails may hit errors. Your existing reviews are not deleted; they are just temporarily undisplayable.
For context, Judge.me has had no major incidents in the last 90 days of StatusBird's independent monitoring (100.0% availability), so a real outage is unusual. That makes it easy to mistake one for a problem on your end, which is why confirming first matters.
What to do during the outage
- Confirm the widgets load asynchronously so a Judge.me failure leaves a blank space rather than blocking the page; most themes handle this by default.
- Add a temporary line of static social proof to key product descriptions, such as your overall rating, if the outage runs long.
- Ask customers who hit review submission errors to reply by email and post the review for them later.
- Check status.judge.me before troubleshooting your theme, since a missing widget is usually their outage, not your code.
- After recovery, spot-check star ratings on top products and confirm delayed review request emails went out.
These steps follow the same logic Google codifies in its Site Reliability Engineering chapter on managing incidents: establish what is actually happening, contain the damage, and communicate clearly while the incident is still running.
Frequently asked questions
Are my product reviews gone when Judge.me widgets stop showing?
No. Reviews are stored on Judge.me's servers and reappear automatically once the service recovers. The outage only affects the widget's ability to fetch and display them on your storefront.
Will a Judge.me outage slow down or break my product pages?
Pages should still load because the widget script loads asynchronously, but you will see empty rating areas and possibly a brief loading placeholder. If your theme was customized to load the script synchronously, an outage can slow page rendering, which is worth fixing regardless.
After the outage
Once Judge.me recovers, verify the affected workflows end to end rather than trusting the status page. Note the start and end times while they are fresh: if you are on a paid Judge.me plan with an SLA, documented downtime is what a service credit claim is built on. See how to claim SLA credits for the process.
How this data is measured
StatusBird checks Judge.me's status every 2 minutes, around the clock, independently of the vendor. The availability figure counts major and critical outages only; minor degradation is excluded so numbers are not skewed by vendors that report small blips near-continuously. Grades run from A+ to F. See the live numbers on the Judge.me reliability page and current status on the Judge.me status page, or browse all 84 service grades.
This playbook was published separately until September 2026. It now lives here, alongside the live Judge.me status it applies to.
