Is the AWS status dashboard. They are pretty good about rapid updates and when massive stuff goes pear-shaped their after-action post-mortem writeups are usually very interesting reads:

Today what ever ailed S3 ailed their own dashboard and it took around an hour to be updated
with correct information.
The twitterverse had a ball with that one!

But isn't your CDN apart of that "bug" that was found a few days ago?

Yes, indeed

But it only affected sites trying to protect private info, which I'm not doing (well, not via a CDN). Not boasting here - I SHOULD finally break down and look at SSL - but no Cloudbleed here.

just setup let's encrypt. It's free, easy to setup and has been pretty solid.
Thanks

Will take a look. The basic encryption is not the hard part (in fact, a while ago I had an SSL section of the site for handling transactions, and Cloudflare offers SSL); I need to look at how to handle ads based on third-party servers (such as Google); I realize nobody likes ads, but they mostly pay the bills :-).
The ads are fine
