Check if a website is down for everyone or just you, with status code and response time
Checked from our server in India. Only the address you type is sent to us; nothing else leaves your device. Updated on 18 Oct 2026.Is It Down asks our server in India to open the website you type, following up to 5 redirects with 8 seconds per step. A page in reply means the site is up and the fault is on your side; a 5xx error or no answer means it is down for everyone, not just you.
Type the website address and press Check site.
Our server requests it, follows up to 5 redirects and times each step.
Read Up, Having problems or Down, and whether it is just you.
Is It Down answers one question: is a website broken, or is the problem between you and it? Our server, which sits outside your home or office network, requests the address you type, follows up to 5 redirects and records the status code and time of each step. Because the request does not go through your connection, your Wi-Fi, your provider's DNS or your browser cache cannot affect the answer.
Up means the site sent a page (a 2xx code, after any redirects). If it still will not open for you, the fault is on your side: try mobile data, clear your DNS cache, or turn off a VPN or ad blocker. Up, but it refused our check means the server answered with 401, 403, 429 or a bot challenge: it is running, but many sites refuse automated requests while serving people normally. Having problems means a 5xx server error such as 500, 502 or 503, or a redirect chain that never ends: it fails for everyone. Down means no answer at all: the connection was refused, timed out after 8 seconds, or the TLS handshake failed.
It checks from one place, our server in India, so a site that blocks visitors from India or from data centres can look down when it is not. It cannot test your own network, because this page may only talk to our own server. It reads at most 64 KB of the page and throws it away, so it does not check that the content is right. It does not watch a site over time or send alerts.
Only public addresses can be checked: private networks, localhost and this site itself are refused. Each visitor can run 10 checks a minute and 60 an hour across the network tools.
Check it from a different network. Is It Down asks our server, outside your network, to open the address. If our server gets a page, the site is up and the problem is your connection, DNS or browser. If our server gets a server error or no answer, the site is down for everyone.
Open the site on mobile data instead of Wi-Fi, clear your DNS cache with ipconfig /flushdns on Windows, try a private browser window, and turn off any VPN, proxy or ad blocker for a moment. If none of these help, your internet provider may be blocking or misrouting the site.
Many sites refuse automated requests such as ours with 403 Forbidden, 429 Too Many Requests or a bot-check page, while serving people in browsers normally. Any answer at all proves the server is running, so the page reports the site as up but refusing our check.
All three mean the site is failing for everyone. A 502 Bad Gateway or 504 Gateway Timeout comes from the proxy or CDN in front of the site when the site's own server gives no proper answer. A 503 Service Unavailable means the server is overloaded or in maintenance, usually for a short time.
Every check runs from our server in India. A site that blocks visitors from India or from cloud servers can therefore look down here while working elsewhere. The page states the location with each result, and the copied result includes the time of the check in UTC.
No. Only public internet addresses can be checked. Private ranges such as 192.168.x.x and 10.x.x.x, localhost, cloud metadata addresses and names that resolve to any of them are refused before a connection is made, and every redirect is checked again the same way.
