Is It Down

Free, no account. Tell us where the result should go, type the code from the email, and the check runs.

What it checks

Status

The HTTP status code and what it means, from our server in Europe.

And

Speed

Time to first byte and total time for the page.

Also

Redirects

Where the address ends up, and whether HTTPS is enforced.

How to read the result

What to do with it

  • 200 is up. 5xx is the server failing. 4xx is the page missing or blocked. No answer at all is DNS or the host.
  • Over two seconds to first byte is slow hosting, not a slow page.
  • If it is up here and down for you, it is your network or DNS cache.

Questions

About the is it down

Where is the check made from?

From our server in Europe, once. A site can be up here and blocked in another country.

Why does it say up when I cannot open it?

Your network, your DNS cache or a regional block. Try another network or flush your DNS.

How often can I check?

Thirty times a day per visitor; the same address is re-checked after five minutes.
