Website Down Checker
Test any website from our servers and see if it’s down for everyone or just you.
A website down checker tells you whether a site is actually offline or whether the problem is on your end. When a page won’t load, your browser can’t tell the difference between a real outage and a local issue like DNS, a firewall, or a dropped connection. Our checker settles it by requesting the site from an independent server: if we can reach it, the site is up and the fault is local to you; if we can’t, it’s likely down for everyone.
How the website down checker works
Enter a domain or full URL and we send a request to it from our infrastructure, then report the HTTP status code and response time. Because the check runs from a neutral network — not your device — it bypasses the router, browser cache, extensions, and ISP quirks that cause most "the site won’t load" complaints. Any HTTP response means the server answered and the site is reachable; only a connection failure or timeout means it’s genuinely down.
Down for everyone, or just you?
This is the question a down checker exists to answer. If our test succeeds but the site still won’t load for you, the outage is almost certainly local: try a different network or device, flush your DNS, disable a VPN, or clear your cache. If our test also fails, the site itself is having problems and there’s nothing you can do but wait — checking the company’s status page or social media for an ETA.
What a down checker can and can’t see
We can confirm the server is responding and how fast, but we can’t log in or see content behind authentication, and some sites deliberately block automated requests or vary by region. A site can also be "up" at the server level while a specific feature — checkout, search, login — is broken. For per-service detail, use our dedicated status pages linked below.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this website down checker free?
Yes, it’s completely free with no sign-up. Enter any website URL and get an instant result — the HTTP status code, response time, and whether the site is reachable from our servers.
The checker says a website is up but it won’t load for me. Why?
That means the site is online and the problem is local to your connection or device. Common causes are DNS issues, a VPN or firewall, browser extensions, or a stale cache. Try another network or device to confirm.
Can the down checker tell me why a site is down?
It tells you whether the server is responding and how it responded, which narrows the cause (network failure vs. server error vs. local issue). It can’t diagnose the site owner’s internal problem, but the status code is a strong clue.
