Is the site down?

Find out if the site is down for everyone or just for you.

What this tool does

The tool requests the site from our server, follows redirects and measures how long it takes to respond. If it responds from here, the site is up for the rest of the internet, and the problem is most likely your connection, your ISP or your browser. If it doesn't respond, it's down for everyone.

How to read the result

  • Up: the site responded normally. The time shown is the server's response time, not counting images and scripts loading.
  • Up, with errors: the server responded, but with an error such as 500, 502 or 503. The site has a problem even though it's reachable.
  • Down: no response within 10 seconds, the connection was refused or the domain doesn't point to any server.

The history shows the latest checks made by anyone, so you can see whether the outage is recent or the site goes up and down.

The site works here, but not for me

  • Clear your browser cache or try a private window.
  • Try from your phone, using mobile data instead of Wi-Fi.
  • Switch your computer's DNS to 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8, or check the domain's DNS to see whether it changed recently.
  • Turn off VPN, proxy or blockers and try again.
  • If nothing helps, your ISP may be blocking it. It's worth opening a support ticket.

The site is down for everyone

If it's your site, check your hosting dashboard, the SSL certificate and the domain expiration date. 502 and 504 errors usually mean the application behind the web server has stopped or is slow.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if a site is down just for me?

Enter the address here. If the site responds from our server, it is up and the problem is local: connection, DNS, browser or ISP.

What does a 503 error mean?

Service unavailable. The server is reachable but can't handle requests right now, usually due to overload or maintenance.

Why does the response time change with each test?

It depends on server load, distance and the route across the internet. Variations of a few dozen milliseconds are normal.

How often can I check?

Each site's result is cached for one minute. There is also a limit on checks per person and per site to prevent abuse.

Where is the check run from?

From our server in Miami, United States. A site may be reachable from here and blocked in other countries, or only on some ISPs' networks.
