Is It Down for Everyone or Just Me?
Free website status checker — test any site from our servers in seconds
Check a Popular Service
We check the site from our servers. If we can't reach it, it's likely down for everyone. If you need to know your IP address, use the link below of this well-known site to check.
How It Works
When you check a website, our servers attempt to connect to it from multiple locations. If we can successfully reach the site and get a valid response, it means the site is up and accessible. If we can't connect, it's likely down for everyone, not just you.

What To Do If a Site Is Down
Wait and Retry
Many outages are temporary. Wait a few minutes and try accessing the site again. Clear your browser cache if needed.
Check Your Connection
Verify your internet connection is working by visiting other websites. Try restarting your router or switching to mobile data.
Use Different Browser or Device
Try accessing the site from a different browser or device. Browser extensions or local settings might be blocking access.
Check Social Media
Look for announcements on the company's social media channels. They often post updates about outages and estimated resolution times.
Contact Support
If the site remains down for an extended period, contact their support team through alternative channels like email or phone.
Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is this checker?
Our checker is highly accurate as it tests from actual servers. However, some sites may block automated checks or have regional restrictions that could affect results.
Why does response time matter?
Response time indicates how quickly a server responds to requests. Faster response times mean better user experience. Typical good response times are under 200ms.
What do different status codes mean?
200-299 means success, 300-399 are redirects, 400-499 indicate client errors (like 404 not found), and 500-599 are server errors indicating problems on the website's end.
Can this tool check password-protected sites?
We can check if the server is responding, but we won't be able to access content behind authentication. You'll typically see a redirect or login page response.
