Website Down Checker
Check if a website is down for everyone or just you.
Is the Website Down for Everyone or Just Me?
This tool checks whether a website is accessible from our servers. If the tool reports UP but you cannot access it locally, the issue is with your network, ISP, or DNS resolver — not the origin server.
HTTP Status Codes
Common Use Cases
- Confirming outages — check whether a site is down for everyone or just your own connection before troubleshooting further.
- Incident response — quickly verify service status when investigating a customer-reported outage.
- Third-party monitoring — check the status of external services or APIs your application depends on.
- Pre-launch checks — confirm a newly deployed site or service is actually reachable from outside your network.
Example
Checking a site that returns a connection timeout from multiple vantage points strongly suggests the server itself is down or unreachable, rather than a local network issue on your end.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does 'down for everyone' mean?
It means the site failed to respond from our server's vantage point, which is separate from your own network — indicating the problem is likely on the server or hosting side, not your connection.
Why might a site be down for me but not others?
This can happen due to local DNS caching issues, ISP-level routing problems, or firewall/network restrictions specific to your connection.
What's a common cause of a site going down?
Server crashes, exceeded resource limits, expired SSL certificates, DNS misconfiguration, or hosting provider outages are all common causes.
Does this tool tell me why a site is down?
It confirms reachability, not the root cause. Pair it with an HTTP header check, SSL checker, or DNS lookup to narrow down the specific issue.
