About IsDownOrOnline

A free, no-nonsense tool that tells you whether a website is down for everyone or just you.

IsDownOrOnline.com exists to answer one simple question as fast as possible: is this website actually down, or is it just me? When a page won't load, it's easy to waste time restarting your router, clearing your cache, or refreshing endlessly — when the real problem is the website's own server. Our checker settles the question in a couple of seconds so you know whether to keep troubleshooting on your end or simply wait for the site to come back.

What we do

When you enter a domain, we send a real request to that website from our server, the same way a browser would, and report what we get back. If the site responds normally, it's online — and if it loads for us but not for you, the problem is almost certainly local to your device, network, or region. If it doesn't respond for us either, the outage is real and probably affecting other visitors too.

Alongside a simple online/offline verdict, we show the server's response time in milliseconds, so you can also catch the in-between cases: sites that are technically up but responding so slowly they feel broken.

Why we built it

Most outage-checking tools are cluttered, slow, or buried in pop-ups. We wanted something that loads instantly, works on any device, requires no account, and gives a clear answer without making you hunt for it. Type a domain, get a verdict. That's the whole idea.

What we don't do

• We don't require you to sign up or hand over any personal information to run a check.
• We don't store the websites you personally look up against your identity — checks are anonymous.
• We can't fix a website that's genuinely down; only the site's owner can do that. We just tell you what's happening.
• We're not affiliated with any of the websites you check. A result here is an independent observation, not an official status from that company.

Accuracy and limitations

No outage checker is perfect. Some websites deliberately block automated requests, sit behind bot-protection services, or only serve certain countries — any of which can make a perfectly healthy site look unreachable to us. When that happens, our result may differ from what you see in your browser. We treat any standard "success" or "redirect" response as online and surface the underlying status code so you can judge for yourself. For more on how to interpret results, see our FAQ and the HTTP status codes guide.
