How to check if a website is down

To check whether a website is down, this tool sends a real HTTP request to your URL from 5 global regions (North America, Europe, the UK, Asia, and Oceania) and reports the up or down status, the response time, and the SSL certificate expiry for each one. Paste a URL above and check it. No signup, no credit card.

Why check from more than one location?

A site that loads fine from your desk can be down for customers on the other side of the world. A failing CDN edge, a geo-routed DNS record, a regional firewall, or a degraded network path can take your site down for some visitors while it looks perfectly healthy from where you are sitting. A single-location check cannot see that. Checking from 5 regions at once can.

How to tell if a site is down for everyone or just you

If a site will not load, the first question is whether it is down for everyone or only for you. A local network issue, a stale DNS cache, or an ISP problem can make a perfectly healthy site look down from your connection. Because this checker probes from 5 independent regions on our own infrastructure, not your network, a result of up from several regions means the site is fine and the problem is local to you, while down from every region means the site itself is unreachable.

Frequently asked questions

Why might my site be up in one region but down in another?

A site can be reachable from one part of the world and not another for several reasons: a regional CDN node or edge location is failing, a geo-DNS record points some regions at a broken origin, a firewall or geo-block is rejecting certain locations, or routing between a region and your origin is degraded. Checking from a single location hides this. The Website Checker probes from North America, Europe, the UK, Asia, and Oceania at once, so a regional failure shows up immediately.

What does the Website Checker actually test?

It sends a real HTTP request to your URL from each of the 5 regions and reports the status code, the response time, and whether the response indicates the site is up (a 2xx or 3xx status). For HTTPS URLs it also reports how many days remain on the SSL certificate. It does not log into your site or read its contents. For that, you set up a monitor.

Is it free? Do I need an account?

It is free and needs no account. Paste a URL and check it. If you want the site watched with alerts the moment it breaks, that is a monitor, also free on the Velprove free plan (no credit card).

How is this different from a regular ping?

A ping tells you a server answers on the network. It does not tell you whether your actual page loads, what status code it returns, how slow it is from each region, or whether your SSL certificate is about to expire. The Website Checker makes a real HTTP request and reports all of that, from 5 regions at once.

Can I monitor my site continuously instead of checking once?

Yes. A one-time check is a snapshot. A monitor watches the URL on a schedule from the region you choose and alerts you the moment it goes down. Velprove's free plan includes 10 free monitors and one no-code browser login monitor that signs in like a real user. Click 'Monitor this for free' after a check to set one up.

Can I embed this checker on my own site?

Yes. The embed variant is a chrome-less iframe you can paste onto any page. It runs real checks and links back to the full tool. Use it on commercial sites without asking.
