Site down checker

Check if a website is down right now, or test popular sites.

Status

  • Response time-
  • Checked URL-

This check only shows whether the server answered, not the exact HTTP status code. Ad blockers, VPNs, or strict networks can cause false "down" readings - if a big site shows down here but loads in a tab, trust the tab.

How to use this checker

1. Type any website address and press Check now. 2. A green Up means the server answered; a red Down means nothing answered within 15 seconds. 3. Use the popular-sites board to test big sites one by one, or press Check all.

Worked example

Checking google.com usually returns Up in well under a second. Checking a made-up address like this-site-does-not-exist-12345.com returns Down or unreachable, because no server answers.

How the check works

Your browser sends a lightweight request to the address with a 15 second timeout and measures how long the server takes to answer. The request runs in a mode that hides the exact HTTP status code, so the answer is reachable or unreachable - not 200 versus 404 versus 500. The check runs entirely in your browser; nothing is sent to CrunchBench.

Why does it say Down for a site I can open?
Ad blockers, VPNs, corporate firewalls, or strict privacy settings can block the test request even when the site loads fine in a tab. Try another network or disable extensions before concluding the site is down.
Can it show the exact error, like 404 or 500?
No. Browsers hide the status code of cross-site test requests for security, so the checker only reports whether the server answered at all.
Is it just me, or is the site down for everyone?
This tool checks from your browser, so it answers whether you can reach the site. If a huge site shows Down here but the rest of your internet works, the problem is on your side. For worldwide outage reports, check Downdetector.
How often should I retry a Down result?
Wait a minute and retry once or twice. Brief blips are common; a site that stays unreachable for 10 minutes or more is likely a real outage.

How it works

How the Is It Down? Website Status Checker works

Quick answer: The checker requests the site from your browser and reports whether it responded and how fast. If it loads elsewhere but not for you, the problem is likely your network, DNS, or a regional outage.

Formula

Up = the site responded
Response time = time from request to response, in milliseconds

Some sites block automated checks, which can look like an outage.

Assumptions and limits

  • A single check is a snapshot; try again in a minute before concluding a site is down.
