Website status checker

What is the website status checker?

The website status checker sends a request to the website from our server and reports whether it's online, the HTTP status code it returned and how long it took to respond. It answers the classic question: is it down for everyone, or just for me?

Downtime costs visitors, sales and rankings, since search engines that repeatedly can't reach a site will crawl it less. If the site works here but not for you, the problem is likely your network, DNS cache or browser.

  1. 1Enter the domain name, or paste the full URL of the website.
  2. 2Press Check to send a request to the website.
  3. 3Read the status, the HTTP code and the response time.

Frequently asked questions

Why does a website work for others but not for me?

It's usually a local issue: an outdated DNS cache, a browser extension, a firewall, or a problem with your internet provider.

What does a 5xx status code mean?

Status codes from 500 to 599 are server errors. The website is reachable, but the server failed to handle the request.

What is a good response time?

Under 200 ms is excellent, and under 600 ms is fine. Slower responses hurt user experience and Core Web Vitals.

Does the checker follow redirects?

Yes, redirects are followed and the final response is reported.
