A Website Down? About Our Website Status Checker
How to Check if a Website is Down
Our free website status checker instantly verifies if any website is down or up. Simply enter the domain name (like netflix.com, facebook.com, or youtube.com) in the search box above, and we'll check the website's availability in real-time. Our system monitors HTTP response codes, server response times, and connection status to provide accurate uptime information.
We check websites from multiple geographic locations to ensure accurate results. If a site appears down on our checker, it's likely experiencing a global outage affecting all users, not just your connection.
Is It Down?
When you can't access a website, it's important to know whether it's down for everyone or if the problem is with your internet connection. Our website down checker answers this question by testing the site from our servers. If we detect the site as DOWN, the outage affects all users globally. If our system shows UP but you still can't access it, the issue may be:
- Your internet connection or ISP
- DNS server problems
- Local firewall or security software
- Browser cache or cookies
- Regional blocking or geo-restrictions
