IS IT
DOWN?
Enter a website to check whether it is actually down or just unreachable from your connection. We request it from our server and report the live HTTP status and response time, so you can tell the difference between a real outage and a local network or cache problem.
What is a Website Down Checker?
A website down checker is a free tool that tells you whether a site is down for everyone or just you. It requests the site from an independent server and reports the live HTTP status and response time, so you can tell a real outage apart from a local network, DNS or cache problem on your end.
How does a Website Down Checker work?
- 01We request the site from our server, independent of your network.
- 02The HTTP status code and full response time are measured.
- 03A 2xx or 3xx means it is up for us; a timeout or 5xx means a real problem.
Frequently asked questions
The site loads for you but not for me. Why?
If this tool reports the site as up but you cannot reach it, the problem is on your side or between you and the server: a DNS cache, a local network or firewall, an ISP routing issue, or a stale browser cache. Try flushing DNS, a different network, or an incognito window. If we also see it down, the outage is real.
What does the response time tell me?
Response time here is how long the server took to return the first response from our location. A consistently high number, or frequent timeouts, points to an overloaded or poorly-provisioned host rather than a one-off blip. If your own site is regularly slow to respond, the host is usually the cause.
My site keeps going down. Is it the host?
Occasional downtime happens everywhere, but repeated outages are a hosting problem. The fix is a host with real uptime engineering, a status page, and infrastructure that does not fall over under load. Our rankings score hosts on exactly these operational signals, with no paid placements.
