Is this the same as a 24/7 uptime monitoring service?

No — this performs one check at the moment you request it. A dedicated uptime monitor checks on a recurring schedule (every few minutes) and alerts you the instant a site goes down, building a historical uptime percentage over time. This tool answers the immediate question instead.

The site loads fine in my browser but shows DOWN here — why?

This usually means the issue is specific to your network or location (a local DNS cache, an ISP routing problem, or a regional CDN issue) rather than the site being down everywhere — since this check runs from a completely different server location than your own browser.

What status codes count as 'up'?

Any response under 500 is treated as up, including redirects (3xx) and even client error codes like 404 (since a 404 still means the server itself is responding, just that the specific page wasn't found). 500-range server errors and connection failures or timeouts are treated as down.

Why did the check take several seconds?

A slow-but-successful response usually indicates the site itself is under load or experiencing performance issues rather than being fully down — worth investigating separately with the Website Speed Test tool if this happens consistently.

Can I use this to monitor my own site automatically?

Not for automated recurring checks — this tool is built for on-demand, single checks triggered manually. For automated monitoring with alerts, a dedicated scheduled uptime-monitoring service is the right fit.

About Down for Everyone or Just Me

Before assuming your own internet connection is the problem, or spending time debugging code that might be fine, the fastest sanity check is confirming whether a website is actually reachable from outside your own network right now. A site can be down for everyone, or just unreachable from your specific location or network.

This tool performs a live check from our server, attempting to load the URL and reporting whether it responded successfully, its HTTP status code, and how long the response took. A 2xx or 3xx status generally means the site is healthy; a 4xx or 5xx status, a timeout, or a connection failure indicates a real problem on the site's end.

This is a single point-in-time check, not continuous monitoring — it tells you the site's status at the exact moment you click Check now, not a historical uptime percentage over days or weeks. For ongoing monitoring with alerts when a site goes down, a dedicated uptime-monitoring service that checks on a schedule is the right tool; this is built for the quick 'is it just me, or is the site actually down' question.

This is useful for quickly confirming whether a site outage is real before escalating it, checking a competitor's or client's site status, verifying your own site recovered after a deploy or server restart, and settling the classic 'is it down for everyone or just me' question in seconds.

How it works

Enter a website URL. Any public website address.
Click Check now. A live request is made from our server to test reachability.
See the result. Up/down status, HTTP status code, and response time are shown instantly.
