🌐 Website Status Checker

Check if a website is down for everyone or only for you, and compare its response time from several regions.

How to check if a website is down

Type a domain into the box above and press Search. The checker sends a request to the site from several regions and reports whether it answered, then lists the response time for each region. If the site answers, it is up. If it does not answer, it is down for everyone.

Down for everyone or just you?

When the checker shows a site as up but it will not open on your device, the cause is usually on your side. Common reasons are a stale DNS cache, a VPN or proxy, a firewall rule or a problem with your internet provider. When the checker shows the site as down, the problem is on the site's end and only its owner can fix it.

Try these steps when a site is up for others but not for you:

  • Reload the page with a hard refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R or Cmd+Shift+R).
  • Switch to mobile data or another network to rule out your provider.
  • Turn off your VPN or proxy for a moment and try again.
  • Flush your DNS cache, then check that the domain resolves everywhere with our DNS propagation checker.
  • If only your address is blocked, see whether it is listed on our IP blacklist checker.

What the response time breakdown shows

Each region gets a bar split into four parts:

  • DNS: the time needed to turn the domain name into an IP address.
  • TCP: the time needed to open a connection to the server.
  • TLS: the time needed to set up the HTTPS encryption.
  • FirstByte: the time until the server starts sending its response.

A long DNS segment points to a slow name server. A long FirstByte segment points to a slow or busy server. A region with a much longer bar than the others can mean that visitors there are far from the server or that the site has no CDN close to them.

Frequently asked questions

How do I check if a website is down?
Enter the domain in the box at the top of this page and press Search. The result shows whether the site is up and how fast it answered from each region.
Why does a site load for others but not for me?
The site is working, so the cause sits between you and the server. A VPN, a proxy, a DNS cache, a firewall or your internet provider can each block or slow the connection. The steps listed above cover the usual fixes.
Why do response times differ between regions?
Distance to the server, the use of a CDN and the route your traffic takes all change the result. A site hosted in one country usually answers faster from nearby regions.
What does a slow first byte time mean?
The connection opened normally, but the server took a long time to start its reply. This points to a busy server or a slow backend and has nothing to do with your own connection.
How is this different from the Is It Down or Just Me? tool?
The Is It Down or Just Me? tool runs a DNS lookup and a server response analysis, and it flags parked domains and redirects. This checker compares response time from several regions. Use both for a full picture.
