Being slow is kinda a deal breaker for a status page, isn’t it? The whole point is to notify your customers of an issue, and you need to do that fast. Most issues are only going to last a few minutes anyway, so any delay in update makes the whole thing pretty moot.

There's a PubSub implementation for IPFS that can provide support for dynamic content in this case. I'm pretty sure there is another way to provide fast updates through some indirection mechanism though.

Yup, I agree that IPFS is not the best choice.
