Website Down Checker

Check if a website is down or up from global locations.

Powered by Website Load Time API

When a website becomes unresponsive, it is critical to determine whether the issue is isolated to your local Internet Service Provider (ISP), browser cache, or an actual server outage.

Geekflare Site Down Checker is a free tool to verify URL's availability to help you troubleshoot connectivity issues.

By entering a domain name or URL, this tool bypasses your local network infrastructure and connects directly to the target web server from an external location. It confirms whether the site is accessible or experiencing downtime.

The test results provide the following diagnostic data:

  • Current Status: A "Up" or "Down" or "Error" or "Redirected" confirmation.
  • HTTP Status Code: The exact response from the web server such as 200 OK, 403 Forbidden, 500 Internal Server Error, or 502 Bad Gateway. This helps pinpoint if the error is originating from web servers like Nginx, or a backend application.
  • Resolved IP Address: The specific IPv4 or IPv6 address associated with the domain. This confirms that the DNS is routing correctly and is useful for verifying CDN like Cloudflare, Fastly, or AWS CloudFront.
  • Tested From: The location of the server conducting the test.
  • Response Time: How much time site took to respond.

Website down checker tool is essential to confirm if site is down just for you or everyone.
