What is the Website Down Checker?
A website down checker tries to open a site from servers in many countries at the same moment. If it loads everywhere, the problem is on your side — your network, DNS or browser. If it fails everywhere, the site itself is down. If it fails only in some places, there's a regional problem such as a blocked network or a failing CDN location.

Frequently asked questions
The site loads everywhere but not for me. What now?
Try another network such as mobile data, clear your browser cache, flush your DNS, or switch to a public DNS like 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8. In India, some sites are blocked by internet providers.
What do the status codes mean?
2xx means the page loaded, 3xx is a redirect, 4xx means the server answered with an error such as 403 Forbidden or 404 Not Found, and 5xx means the server or its host is failing. 2xx–4xx all show the server is up.
Who runs the checks?
The checks run from check-host.net's network of test servers.
