FAQ
Common questions
How does the down checker decide a site is up or down?
Our server sends a lightweight HEAD request to the site (falling back to a full GET if the server rejects HEAD). Any response with a status below 500 means the web server is alive and answering — even a 404 proves the site itself is up. A 5xx status, a timeout after 10 seconds or a connection failure counts as down.
The site loads for me but shows as down here — why?
The check runs from our server, not your device. Firewalls, bot protection and geo-blocking can make a site refuse our request while serving yours. The reverse also happens: your browser may be showing a cached copy of a site that is actually down.
What should I do if my own website is down?
First check your hosting provider's status page — most outages are host-side. If hosting is fine, look at recent changes: an expired domain or SSL certificate, a broken deployment or a DNS change are the usual suspects. The status code shown here helps: 5xx points at the server, timeouts point at DNS or network.
