Is this website down?
Check if a website is down for everyone or just you.
How does the website down checker work?
This tool makes a direct HTTP request to the URL you enter from our servers — not from your browser — so the result reflects the site's global availability, not just your connection. If the site responds within 8 seconds, it's considered up. A timeout or DNS failure means it's unreachable.
The HTTP status code tells you more: 200 means everything is fine, 500–503 means the server is having issues, and no response at all usually means a DNS or network problem.
Because the check runs from a server on the public internet, it bypasses any local issues like a bad Wi-Fi connection, your ISP having routing problems, or corporate firewall rules. If our check shows the site is up but you still can't reach it, the problem is almost certainly on your end or somewhere in your network path to the site.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the tool say a site is up when I can't reach it?
The most common reason is a local network problem — your ISP, router, or DNS resolver might be failing to route traffic correctly to that site while the rest of the internet can reach it fine. Try connecting via a VPN or mobile data to confirm.
What does a 503 status code mean?
A 503 (Service Unavailable) means the server is reachable but is temporarily unable to handle the request — often because of high traffic, maintenance, or a crashed backend service. The site is technically "up" in the sense that the server responds, but it's not serving content normally.
Can I check any website, including my own?
Yes. This is especially useful for website owners who want to verify that their site is publicly accessible after making changes, updating DNS records, or switching hosting providers. Enter your full domain (e.g. https://yourdomain.com) to check it from the outside.
What if the site takes a long time to respond?
Response time is shown in milliseconds. A well-optimised site typically responds in under 300ms. If you're seeing 2000ms or more, the server is slow — which can affect SEO rankings and user experience even if the site is technically "up".
