Problem: Is It Down or Just You?
You try to load a website and it won't open. Is the site actually down, or is it your internet connection, DNS cache, or a regional outage? Without a server-side check, you have no way to know. AI chatbots cannot check real-time website status — they have no ability to make live HTTP requests to verify if a server is responding.
How This Tool Solves It
- Server-side check via Cloudflare Worker — We make a real HTTP request from our edge network, not from your browser.
- Up or down in 3 seconds — If our server can reach the site, it's up. If it can't, there's a real outage.
- Response time & status code — See exactly how fast the server responds and what HTTP code it returns.
- Quick check popular sites — One-click status for Google, YouTube, GitHub, Discord, Netflix, and more.
- 100% private — We only check the URL you provide; no data is stored or tracked.
How to Know if a Site Is Down
Is it down for everyone or just me?
Enter any website URL above and click Check. Our server makes a real HTTP request from the Cloudflare edge network. If the site responds, it is up for everyone. If our server gets a timeout or error, the site is likely down for everyone (not just you). Regional outages, ISP problems, or DNS issues on your end can also prevent access — the server check rules those out.
What does "up" mean?
A website is considered "up" when it responds to an HTTP request with a status code in the 2xx or 3xx range (success or redirect). Some 4xx errors (like 401 Unauthorized or 403 Forbidden) also mean the server is running — the site is technically up, but access is restricted. 5xx errors (500, 502, 503) mean the server is responding but has a problem.
What does "down" mean?
A site is "down" when the server does not respond at all (connection timeout, DNS failure, connection refused) or returns a severe server error like 502 Bad Gateway, 503 Service Unavailable, or 504 Gateway Timeout. These indicate the server is overloaded, crashed, or under maintenance.
Why use a server-side check?
Browser JavaScript cannot make HTTP requests to other domains (this is blocked by CORS security policy). Our Cloudflare Worker acts as a proxy — it makes the request from a real server and returns the result. This also means the check reflects the global internet's view, not just your local network's perspective.
How is response time measured?
Response time is the total time from initiating the connection to receiving the HTTP response headers, measured on our Cloudflare edge server. It includes DNS resolution, TCP connection, TLS handshake, and server processing time.
Can I check internal/private URLs?
No. The tool only checks public internet URLs. Private IP ranges (10.x.x.x, 192.168.x.x, 172.16-31.x.x, 127.0.0.1) and localhost are blocked for security reasons.
Is this tool free and private?
Yes, 100% free with no signup required. We do not store or track the URLs you check. The check is made from Cloudflare's edge network, and no data is logged or persisted.
Why AI Cannot Replace This Tool
AI chatbots (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity) cannot:
- Make real-time HTTP requests to check if a website is currently responding
- Tell you whether a site is actually down right now or just not loading for you
- Measure actual server response time in milliseconds
- Distinguish between a regional outage and a global one
- Check whether a specific server is reachable from the open internet
This tool does all of this by making a real server-to-server HTTP request through Cloudflare's edge network.
