Check whether a website is down for everyone or just for you
Enter a URL to check whether a site is reachable right now.
Enter a website's URL and this tool attempts to reach it to see whether it's currently responding. This helps you tell the difference between a problem on the site's end and a problem specific to your own connection, browser, or network.
A site can appear broken on your end for reasons that have nothing to do with the hosting provider: a local DNS cache holding an old address, a browser extension blocking content, a VPN or proxy routing you differently, or a temporary issue with your own internet connection. Checking from an independent tool like this one rules those out.
If you're checking your own site and this tool confirms it's unreachable, your next step is usually your hosting provider's status page or support channel. If you don't manage the site, there's usually not much to do besides waiting — most outages get resolved without any action needed from visitors.
A successful check means the server responded, but it doesn't guarantee every page or feature on the site is working correctly — a site can return a valid response while a specific page, database connection, or checkout flow is broken. If the homepage loads fine but a particular section of a site is failing, that's usually an application-level issue rather than a hosting outage.
If a site is unreachable from this tool, that's a reasonably strong sign it's down broadly, not just for you, since the check runs independently of your own network. That said, large outages sometimes affect only certain regions or ISPs, so a site could be reachable from here while still down for some visitors elsewhere.
If you want to understand what a given uptime guarantee actually means in terms of allowed downtime, try our Uptime & SLA Calculator. To look up a site's hosting location, use our Website IP Lookup.
This can happen with regional outages, DNS propagation differences, or caching — a site might be reachable from one network or location and not another.
The issue is likely local — try clearing your browser cache, disabling a VPN or extension, or checking your own internet connection or DNS settings.
No, it checks whether the site responds, typically at the homepage or the URL you enter. Individual pages or features can still be broken even if the overall site is reachable.
A provider’s status page reflects what the provider reports about its own infrastructure. This tool independently checks whether a specific URL is currently reachable, regardless of what any status page says.
The tool is free to use. See our Privacy Policy for details on data handling.
