✅ Website Checker

Quick check for whether any URL is up, what HTTP status it returns, and how long the response took. The fastest way to confirm whether a site is actually down or just slow.

What is the website checker?

A website checker is a basic uptime probe — it sends an HTTP request to the URL you provide and reports the result. The response status (200 = OK, 404 = not found, 5xx = server error) tells you what's happening; the response time tells you how the server is performing. Useful before opening a support ticket, when troubleshooting your own site, or when verifying a CDN deployment.

How does this website checker work?

Enter the URL. The tool sends an HTTP request through a CORS-friendly proxy, captures the response status and elapsed time, and reports both with a clear UP/DOWN badge. A 200-status with a sub-second response = healthy.

When should you use this tool?

Use it before assuming your hosting provider has an outage, when a colleague reports a broken page, after deploying a major change, when monitoring third-party services your site depends on, and as part of incident triage to differentiate 'down for everyone' from 'down for me'.

Tips & best practices

For continuous uptime monitoring, set up a free service like UptimeRobot, BetterUptime or Healthchecks. They'll notify you when your site goes down so you don't find out from angry users. This tool is best for one-off manual checks.

Frequently asked questions

Does this check from multiple locations?

No — it checks from our single proxy server. For multi-region monitoring use a dedicated uptime service.

What does HTTP 403 mean?

Forbidden — the server received your request but refused to serve it. Often means the page is blocked by a firewall or requires authentication.

Why does my site show DOWN here but works in my browser?

Possible reasons: your browser has cached cookies/auth, our proxy IP is blocked by your firewall, or a regional CDN edge is serving you something different.
