The Website Down Checker is a free online tool that tells you whether a website is down for everyone globally or only unavailable for you. When you cannot access a website, it is not always obvious whether the problem is with the website's server, your internet connection, DNS or a regional outage. This tool removes the guesswork.

The tool pings the website from our servers to determine if it is accessible from an external perspective — if our test succeeds but you still cannot access the site, the issue is likely on your end (ISP, DNS, firewall or browser cache).

How to Check If a Website Is Down

• Enter the URL or domain of the website (e.g. example.com)
• Click Check Status
• View the result: UP (accessible) or DOWN (not accessible)
• See the HTTP status code and response time

If the Site Is Down for Everyone

• The website's server may be overloaded or experiencing downtime
• The hosting provider may be having an outage
• The domain may have expired
• Wait and try again, or contact the website owner

If the Site Is Only Down for You

• Restart your router and try again
• Clear your browser cache and cookies
• Try a different browser or incognito mode
• Check if your ISP is blocking the domain
