Infrastructure · externally observed
CreekCo publishes this view of the WW.CX public time infrastructure as part of our commitment to observable, understandable systems. WW.CX operates a primary endpoint and a geographically separate Canadian secondary in Toronto; both are independently observed from a separate network, and the web clock can use the healthy secondary observation when the primary observation is unavailable.

Public time endpoints
For important systems, use several independent time sources rather than depending on any single public server. WW.CX publishes a primary endpoint at ntp.ww.cx and a geographically separate Canadian secondary at ntp2.ww.cx. time.ww.cx remains an alternate name for the primary. NTS adds cryptographic authentication for supported clients, while the external observer continuously publishes bounded health data for both endpoints.
ntp.ww.cxtime.ww.cxThe WW.CX public time service is presently disciplined by a nearby ISNIC GNSS-backed Stratum-1 reference; the externally observed served stratum is shown live. Use the canonical hostname wherever possible; the alternate name is provided for convenience.

ntp2.ww.cxThe secondary WW.CX time endpoint runs independently on Edge2 in Toronto and synchronizes directly to local TorIX Stratum-1 references. Use ntp2.ww.cx as a geographically separate companion to ntp.ww.cx; standard NTP and authenticated NTS are publicly available.
External networkAn independent external monitor periodically checks standard NTP and publishes bounded health metadata for this page.

time.ww.cxHow the clock is produced
The large clock is anchored to the independent monitor’s most recent healthy measured offset from the WW.CX time service. The primary observation is preferred; if it is stale or unavailable while ntp2.ww.cx remains healthy, the clock can anchor to the Toronto secondary instead. Between status refreshes, the browser advances the displayed time with a monotonic timer. Only when no fresh external observation is available does the page fall back to the visitor’s device clock.
Precision note: this webpage is for human-readable GMT/UTC. Browser rendering, HTTP latency and observer age make it unsuitable as a precision clock. Use the protocol endpoints directly for synchronization.
The WW.CX public time service is best-effort infrastructure and is not a legal-metrology, navigation, medical, emergency, industrial-safety or life-safety reference. This page does not change CreekCo’s pre-launch telecommunications status.
