The mascot of Status Is UP
Meet Siu
Siu is the friendly face of Status Is UP. He helps websites get faster, sturdier and ready to recover, one bolt at a time.
The green builder of Packet City. Power him up and watch his pyramid fill with light. Each level links to a real Status Is UP tool.
Every build starts with a check. Siu's pyramid is unlit, ready to go.

Meet Sid
Sid is the friendly face of Status Is Down. When the internet wobbles, Sid feels it first, so you can quickly find out whether it's just you.
Curious, quick, a little dramatic and big-hearted. Sid notices everything first, worries out loud in little chirps, and is brave when it counts.
They greet each other with a hand-bump. Best team in town.
