Why can a website be down for me but not others?

Your ISP may have a routing issue, the site may have blocked your IP, your local DNS may be caching an old record, or your browser cache may be showing stale data. Clearing cache or switching networks often resolves this.

What does a 500 error mean?

A 500 Internal Server Error means the website's server has an unexpected problem and cannot fulfill the request. This is server-side — the site is down for everyone hitting that page.

How do I fix a site that is down just for me?

Clear browser cache and cookies, try a different browser or device, switch networks (mobile data vs. WiFi), flush DNS cache (ipconfig /flushdns on Windows), or try a VPN.

What is a CDN and how does it affect downtime?

A CDN like Cloudflare caches content on servers globally. Even if the origin server is down, a CDN can serve cached pages — so large sites may appear up even when their actual server has an issue.

Website Down Checker — Is It Down for Everyone?

Website URL or Domain

📍 Checks are performed from our Canadian servers. If a site shows "online" but you can't access it, the issue may be with your ISP, DNS, or local network.

🔧 Quick Status Codes Guide

200 OK — Site is online and working normally

301/302 Redirect — Site redirects to another URL

403 Forbidden — Site is up but blocking access

404 Not Found — Page doesn't exist

500 Internal Server Error — Site has a server problem

503 Service Unavailable — Site is down or overloaded

0 No Response — Site is completely unreachable

Down For Everyone or Just Me?

When a website won't load, it's not always clear whether the problem is on your end or the site's. This tool checks the site's status from an external server — completely separate from your internet connection. If the site responds normally to the external check but not to you, the problem is local.

HTTP status codes tell the full story. 200 = up and responding. 301/302 = redirecting. 403 = access forbidden. 500/502/503 = server error — the site is genuinely down. This tool reports the exact code so you know what you're dealing with.

For website owners, unexplained downtime is expensive — every minute offline costs traffic, conversions, and search rankings. Bookmark this tool for quick diagnosis. Pair it with the DNS checker to rule out DNS propagation issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is a site down for me but up for everyone else?

ISP routing issue, IP block, stale DNS cache, or browser cache. Try: clear cache, switch networks, flush DNS, or use a VPN.

What does a 502 Bad Gateway mean?

The server acting as a gateway received an invalid response from an upstream server. Common with overloaded or crashed app servers behind a load balancer.

How accurate is this checker?

It checks from a single external server location. A site could be down in one region and up in another due to CDN or regional routing issues.
