Type a website address and this page probes it directly from your own browser - no third-party service - so you can tell in seconds whether the site is down or something on your side blocks it.
Is It Down? Website Status Checker
When a page will not load, the useful question is not "is the site down?" but "is it down for me?". Type any address into the box at the top - a bare domain like example.com or a full https:// URL - and press Check. Your browser sends one direct request to that site, from your own device and network, and the result card tells you whether the server answered and roughly how many milliseconds it took. No third-party checking service receives the address, and this page does not store it.
How to read a result honestly
A Reachable result means the site's server answered your device at network level - so if one specific page still errors, the problem is past the front door: a feature, a login, or your account, not the whole site. A Not reachable result is genuinely ambiguous, and the card says so: the site may be down, or your network, DNS or an ad-blocker may block it, or the site may refuse cross-site checks. The quickest way to settle it is to try a second network - switch from Wi-Fi to phone data. If the site loads there, your network was the blocker; if it fails on two networks, a real outage is likely, and waiting usually beats changing settings. A check that gets no answer within 8 seconds reports as timed out, which can look identical for an overloaded site and an aggressive firewall - retry once before concluding anything.
Popular sites at a glance
Below the input, seven quick-check cards - Google, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, X, Reddit and Wikipedia - run the same device-local check when the page loads. Each card resolves to Reachable with its response time, or to an honest not-reachable note naming the possible causes; a card never goes blank. During a big social-platform outage this row answers the reflex question in one glance, without typing anything.
What this page can and cannot tell you
This is an "is it down for me" check, not a global outage monitor: the probe runs from exactly one vantage point - your device. Because the browser's cross-site request is opaque by design, the page can confirm the server answered but cannot read HTTP status codes or page content, and it keeps no outage history, uptime graphs or user-report counts. A site that refuses cross-site checks can show as not reachable here while opening normally in a tab - the result table under the tool spells out each case in plain words, and a numbered checklist walks through what to do when a site will not load. Everything works in the browser with no app install and no account.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does this checker test a website?
Your browser sends one direct request to the address you typed - from your own device and network, with an 8-second timeout. If the server answers at network level, the result card shows Reachable with the approximate response time in milliseconds; if not, it shows Not reachable with the reason. No third-party service receives the address, and this page does not store it.
Does "Not reachable" mean the site is down for everyone?
No. This is an "is it down for me" check with exactly one vantage point: your device. A failed check can mean the site is down, or that your network, DNS or an ad-blocker blocks it, or that the site refuses cross-site checks. Try a second network - phone data instead of Wi-Fi - before concluding the site itself is down.
The site shows Reachable but a page still errors for me - why?
Reachable means the server answered at network level - the front door is open. If a specific page or feature still fails, the problem is past the front door: a broken feature, a login or session issue, or your account. Hard-refresh, clear the site's cookies, or try a private window before anything else.
Why can this page not show an HTTP status code or an outage graph?
The cross-site request the browser is allowed to send is opaque by design: it confirms the server answered but hides status codes and page content. The page also keeps no outage history, uptime graphs or user-report counts - it is a point-in-time check from your device, not a monitoring service.
What do the popular-site cards at the top do?
Seven quick-check cards - Google, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, X, Reddit and Wikipedia - run the same device-local check when the page loads. Each resolves to Reachable with its response time or to an honest not-reachable note; a card never goes blank. During a large outage this row answers "is it just me?" without typing anything.
