Access path
Last updated Aug 18, 2026
Access path
From the overview, open a site’s detail page (for example status.swaymoon.com/site.html?id=docs) to see the Access path flow. The diagram shows a common edge-and-origin path when a browser reaches that service, and periodically probes whether each hop is reachable.
Nodes
| Node | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Visitor | Your browser |
| Edge (Virginia) | North America entry edge |
| Edge (Hangzhou) | Asia-Pacific entry edge |
| Origin (Jiangsu) | That site’s origin service |
Path edges
| Edge | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Visitor → Hangzhou | Whether the browser can reach the Hangzhou edge |
| Visitor → Virginia | Whether the browser can reach the Virginia edge |
| Virginia → Hangzhou | Virginia edge to Hangzhou edge (relay path) |
| Hangzhou → Origin | Hangzhou edge to that site’s origin |
Edges show latency or an outage mark. Green means the hop probe succeeded; red means it failed. While loading, a hop may temporarily show as probing.
How to read results
- One failed hop does not mean the whole site is down for every user; your network, DNS, and entry choice affect the result.
- When the origin hop (Hangzhou → Origin) fails, Status may open an incident automatically and notify subscribers; the path diagram in mail is a snapshot at send time and may not match the live result when you open the detail page later.
- When you need human follow-up, submit via Report a Problem and include the site name, approximate time, and what you saw on the path diagram.
