How to Check if a Website Is Down

1

Enter the website address

Type a domain such as google.com into the checker. You can also paste a full web address.

2

We test it from different locations

Our servers check the website from several countries. This helps show whether the problem is global or limited to one region.

3

See the result in seconds

You will see whether the site responds, how long it takes, and any HTTP error returned by the server.

4

Compare the result with your connection

If the site works for us but not for you, check your browser, DNS, network, VPN, or internet provider.

What a Website Status Check Shows

It can show:
  • Whether the domain responds from our servers
  • The HTTP status code, such as 200, 404, or 500
  • The website response time
  • Whether the issue may be global or local
It cannot show:
  • Every problem with your own internet connection
  • What a blocked or private service shows to its users
  • How to fix your DNS, firewall, or VPN
  • Problems on pages we did not request

Website Status Checker Questions

Is the website down for everyone or just me?

Enter the domain above and run a free website status check. We test it from several locations. If it works for us but not for you, the problem is probably local. If it fails in several places, the outage may be wider.

A website won't open. What should I try?

Refresh the page and try another browser or device. If the problem continues, clear your browser and DNS cache. You can also test without a VPN or try a different network. Our checker can show whether the site is reachable from outside your connection.

Do you save website screenshots?

No. A check may show a temporary preview of what loaded, but screenshots are not saved to your account or kept in the check history.

Can a website be up in one country and down in another?

Yes. Routing problems, regional blocks, or a CDN issue can affect one area while the site works elsewhere. Checks from multiple locations help show whether a problem is local or global.

Why is a website slow but still online?

A slow website may be busy, waiting on a database, or having trouble with a third-party service. Your own connection can also add delay. Response times can help separate a slow site from a complete outage.

What do HTTP errors 502 and 503 mean?

A 502 means a gateway received an invalid response from another server. A 503 usually means the service is overloaded, unavailable, or under maintenance. A 500 is a general server error, while 403 means access was denied.

Why does a website work on my phone but not my computer?

The problem may be limited to your computer. Try a private browser window, disable extensions, clear the DNS cache, or connect through another network. This can reveal whether the site or your device is at fault.

How much downtime is normal for a website?

No website stays available every minute of every year. A service targeting 99.9% uptime can still have several hours of downtime in a year. Good monitoring helps find repeated or unexpected problems.

Could my internet provider be blocking the website?

It is possible. If the site is up from our servers but unavailable on your connection, your ISP, DNS service, router, or local network may be involved. Try another network or a public DNS service to compare.
