About What is a Website Status Checker?
A website status checker is a tool that determines if a website is down or up by testing its availability and reachability in real-time.
When you can't access a site, this tool helps answer the question: 'Is it down for everyone or just me?' by attempting to connect from your browser.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Website Status Checker
How does this Website Status Checker work?
This tool checks website status from your browser by attempting to load a favicon from the target domain. If it loads successfully, the site is up. If it fails or times out, it shows as down.
Is this check from my location only?
Yes, the check runs from your browser and location. A site could be up for you but down for others in different regions, or vice versa.
Is my data safe and private?
Yes! All checks happen entirely in your browser. URLs are never sent to our servers or logged anywhere.
Why does it say 'Down' when the site is actually online?
This can happen due to CORS policies, firewall restrictions, or missing favicon files. Try opening the site directly in a new tab to verify.
What does response time mean?
Response time is how long (in milliseconds) it took to receive a response. Under 100ms is excellent, 100-300ms is good, over 1000ms is slow.
Can I check specific ports or non-web services?
No, this tool only checks HTTP/HTTPS websites (ports 80/443). For other ports, use command-line tools like telnet or netcat.
What does Timeout error mean?
Timeout means the server did not respond within 8 seconds. This usually indicates the server is down, overloaded, or unreachable.
Do I need to create an account?
No! This tool is completely free and requires no registration, login, or personal information.
