Uptime Check

Check whether a URL is up, with its status code and response time.

Check If a Website Is Up

Enter a URL and this tool requests it from our server and reports whether it is reachable, the HTTP status code it returns, and how long it took to respond. A status under 400 counts as up.

What it reports

  • Up or down at a glance
  • The exact HTTP status code
  • Server response time in milliseconds
  • Number of redirects before the final response

Up vs. down

A 2xx or 3xx response means the site is serving requests. A 4xx or 5xx, a timeout, or a connection failure means something is wrong โ€” whether a missing page, a server error, or an outage.

Why check from a server?

Checking from our server gives a neutral, outside view of your site's availability โ€” independent of your own network or browser cache. It is the same vantage point real visitors and search crawlers have.

One-time vs. monitoring

This is an on-demand check, not continuous monitoring. For production uptime alerts you'll want a dedicated monitoring service that polls on a schedule and notifies you, but a quick manual check is perfect for confirming a site is reachable right now.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the Uptime Check.

How does the uptime check work?
It requests your URL from our server and reports whether itโ€™s reachable, the HTTP status code, and the response time. A status below 400 counts as up.
Why check from a server instead of my browser?
A server check gives a neutral, outside view of availability that isnโ€™t affected by your own network or cache โ€” the same view real visitors get.
Is this continuous monitoring?
No, itโ€™s an on-demand check. For ongoing alerts youโ€™ll want a dedicated monitoring service that polls on a schedule.
