Is it down? Website status checker

Check whether a website is down for everyone or just you. We test it from Cloudflare's global network and show the response time.

When a website won't load, the problem is either the website itself or something between you and it: your Wi-Fi, your internet provider, your DNS, or a VPN. This checker visits the site from Cloudflare's network, far away from your connection, so you can tell which it is.

What the results mean

  • Up, it's just you: the site works from our network, so the problem is likely on your side. Try the steps below.
  • Down for everyone: the site didn't respond or returned a server error. Waiting is usually the only fix.
  • Up, but blocking checks: the site responded but refused automated visitors, which many large sites do. It's most likely working.

If it's just you

  1. Reload the page, then try a different browser or a private window.
  2. Turn off any VPN or ad blocker for a moment.
  3. Switch networks, for example from Wi-Fi to mobile data, to see if your connection is the problem.
  4. Restart your router. Our router guide explains how to open its settings if you need more.
  5. Still stuck? Check your IP and connection to see whether you're on a VPN or proxy.

Results are cached for one minute, so checking the same site repeatedly won't show changes faster than that.
