How do I check if a website is down?
Enter a URL, domain, API endpoint, or IP address, choose the regions to test from, and run the check. The result shows whether the site is reachable, how long it took to respond, and which HTTP status or connection error was returned.
Is the website down for everyone or just me?
If the website fails from multiple selected regions, the problem is likely not only your device or network. If it fails only for you or only from one region, the issue may be local, regional, DNS-related, CDN-related, firewall-related, or caused by routing.
What does HTTP 200 mean?
HTTP 200 usually means the website responded successfully. Other status codes, timeouts, DNS errors, SSL errors, or very slow response times can explain why a website appears unavailable.
Why is a website online in one region but down in another?
Regional failures can happen because of CDN issues, DNS propagation, firewall rules, hosting problems, routing problems, or regional network outages.
What is the difference between HTTP, ping, and SSL checks?
HTTP checks whether the website or API responds and shows the HTTP status, DNS or connection errors, redirects, and response time. Ping checks whether the host responds to ICMP, which can be blocked even when the website is online. SSL checks certificate validity, name, issuer, expiry, and handshake time.
What should I do if the website checker says my site is down?
First, check the result from more than one region. If every selected region fails, review your hosting, DNS, firewall, SSL certificate, and recent deployments. If only one region fails, the problem may be regional routing, CDN, or firewall rules. Run an HTTP check first, then compare it with ping and SSL results to narrow down the cause.
