Is the Website Down for Everyone or Just You?

An outside check gives you a useful comparison point. Combine it with what you see on your own connection.

Signs of a wider website outage

Our external request fails, recent checks show the same error, and people on other networks report trouble. The website, its hosting, DNS, or an upstream service may be unavailable.

Signs the problem is local

The website responds here but not in your browser, or it works on another device or network. Check your browser, DNS, VPN, firewall, router, or internet provider.

How the Website Status Checker Works

The result comes from a real external request, not from whether the site loads in your browser.

Enter a domain or web address

Use a domain such as example.com or paste a complete URL. The input is normalized and checked before a request is sent.

Our server requests the website

The check includes DNS lookup, connection setup, HTTPS negotiation when required, and waiting for the remote server to respond.

We record the response

The result shows whether the request completed, the returned HTTP status code, the measured response time, and when the check ran.

Compare the available evidence

Use recent history and visitor reports for context. For a regional problem, check website availability from another country.

What Your Website Status Result Means

A status code explains the response to this request. It does not guarantee that every part of a website works.

Successful response

The server is reachable and answered the tested request. A login, checkout, stream, API, or another page can still have a separate problem.

HTTP 4xx response

The server responded but rejected or could not find the request. Common examples include 403 Forbidden, 404 Not Found, and 429 Too Many Requests.

HTTP 5xx response

The website or a gateway reported a server-side failure. Codes 500, 502, 503, and 504 often indicate an application, hosting, or upstream problem.

Connection failure

A DNS error, refused connection, TLS error, or timeout prevented a complete HTTP response. A second check can show whether the failure persists.

Website Up but Not Working for You?

Try these checks in order to isolate a browser, device, DNS, or network problem.

Reload and use a private window

A hard refresh or private window bypasses some stale cache, cookies, and extension behavior.

Try another browser or device

If the site works elsewhere on the same Wi-Fi, the issue is probably limited to the original browser or device.

Disable a VPN, proxy, or filtering extension

These tools can change routes, locations, DNS behavior, or requests. Test briefly without them to compare.

Restart the router or clear the DNS cache

This can resolve a stale DNS record or temporary connection state. You can also compare with a trusted public DNS resolver.

Switch networks

Try mobile data or another Wi-Fi connection. A different result can point to your router, ISP, regional route, or network policy.

What This Website Checker Can and Cannot Confirm

What the check can show

Whether the tested address responds externally
The HTTP status or connection error returned
The response time measured for that request
Recent automated checks and visitor reports when available

What one check cannot prove

That every page and feature on the website works
That every user, network, and country gets the same result
That a blocked automated request means the site is offline
That a current result will remain unchanged

Why Check with IsItUpDown?

The service is built to give a fast answer while keeping the evidence and limitations visible.

Time-stamped results

See when a check ran and compare recent history instead of treating an old result as the current status.

User outage reports

Visitor reports add another signal when automated checks alone cannot show how broadly a problem is affecting people.

Country comparisons

Use the separate multi-country checker to investigate regional routing, CDN, filtering, or geo-restriction issues.

Transparent methodology

We explain what is requested, what the result measures, and where a status check has limits. Read more about IsItUpDown.

Website Status Checker FAQ

How can I tell if a website is down for everyone or just me?

Run a status check from outside your own network, then compare the result with your browser. If the site responds to our checker but not to you, the problem is more likely to involve your device, DNS, VPN, router, or internet provider. If independent checks and user reports also fail, the outage may be broader.

Why does a website say it is up when I still cannot use it?

An up result means the tested address returned a response. It does not prove that every page, login, payment, video, or API is working. The problem may affect only one feature, account, device, or region.

What should I try when a website will not load?

Refresh the page, open it in a private window, and try another browser or device. Next, disable a VPN or proxy, restart the router, clear the DNS cache, or switch networks. These comparisons help separate a local connection problem from a website outage.

Can a website be down in one country but online in another?

Yes. A CDN failure, regional server problem, routing fault, geo-block, or local filtering can affect one country while the website remains available elsewhere. A country-specific check can help identify that pattern.

What do HTTP errors 500, 502, 503, and 504 mean?

A 500 is a general server error. A 502 means a gateway received an invalid response. A 503 usually means the service is unavailable, overloaded, or under maintenance. A 504 means a gateway waited too long for another server.

Does a slow response mean the website is down?

Not necessarily. A slow site can still be online. High response time may come from server load, a database delay, a third-party service, network congestion, or distance from the server. Repeated checks provide more context than one measurement.

How current is a website status result?

Each result shows when the check was made. Website availability can change within seconds, so run a new check when you need the current status and use recent history or user reports for additional context.
