Is It Down?
About This Tool
The Is It Down? checker lets you instantly verify whether a website, API endpoint, or server is reachable from our infrastructure. Enter any URL and we'll send an HTTP request to it and report back whether it responded successfully — so you can tell if the outage is global or just on your network.
This tool is useful for developers debugging connectivity issues, checking if a third-party API is experiencing downtime, or verifying that a deployment went live and is publicly accessible.
How to Use This Tool
Enter a URL
Type or paste the website, API, or server address you want to check.
Click "Check Website"
We send an HTTP request to that URL from our infrastructure.
See the result
Instantly find out if the target is reachable or unresponsive.
Common Use Cases
Confirming a Deployment Went Live: Check that your production URL is publicly reachable right after pushing a release.
Diagnosing "The Site Won't Load" Reports: Rule out a global outage before spending time debugging your own network or device.
Checking a Third-Party API Before Filing a Bug: Verify a vendor's API is actually down before opening a support ticket or support thread.
Spot-Checking Uptime During an Incident: Get a quick, independent read on whether a service has recovered while you wait for official status updates.
