Website Status Checker — Is It Down Right Now?

Check whether a website is up or down for everyone, not just you. Enter any URL to instantly test the site's HTTP status code, server response time, and overall availability — from our servers, not your local connection. No sign-up required and completely free.

How It Works

When you submit a URL, our server requests the target website and measures the response from our server's network location. The result includes the HTTP status code, response time, and content type returned. This is one check from one location and does not establish whether the site is reachable from every region or network.

What HTTP Status Codes Mean

HTTP 200 means the website is up and responding normally. HTTP 301 or 302 indicates the site is up but redirecting to another URL. HTTP 403 means the server is reachable but is refusing automated access (common with Reddit, Facebook, and Cloudflare-protected sites — the site is usually up for regular users). HTTP 503 means the server is temporarily overloaded or undergoing maintenance. A complete timeout or connection failure suggests the server is down or the domain has a DNS problem.

Why Does a Site Show as Down When I Can Access It?

Your browser may be displaying a locally cached version of the page. Some sites also apply geo-blocking or bot-protection rules that affect automated checkers but not regular browsers. If our tool reports a site as down but you can open it normally, your local cache or ISP routing is likely involved.
