Check the official Netlify status page

Netlify posts incident updates, deployment delays, and CDN performance issues on its official status dashboard.

netlifystatus.com

Look for community reports

Crowd-sourced signals can confirm widespread build failures, deployment timeouts, or CDN delivery issues.

Downdetector reports

Verify with independent monitoring

Use API Status Check for third-party monitoring that verifies real endpoints and tracks historical incidents.

Common Netlify Issues During Outages

Deployment failures or timeouts

Builds may fail to complete, hang during the build process, or time out when deploying to production.

CDN delivery issues

Sites may experience slow loading times, 502/503 errors, or complete unavailability due to CDN edge node problems.

DNS propagation delays

Custom domains may fail to resolve or show stale DNS records during DNS-related outages or configuration issues.

Build log access failures

The dashboard may fail to display build logs, making it impossible to diagnose deployment issues during incidents.

Troubleshooting Steps Before You Assume Netlify Is Down

  1. 1

    Retry the deployment

    Trigger a manual redeploy from the Netlify dashboard. Temporary build issues often resolve on retry.

  2. 2

    Check build logs for errors

    Review build output for dependency failures, environment variable issues, or command errors unrelated to Netlify status.

  3. 3

    Verify DNS configuration

    Use dig or nslookup to confirm your custom domain resolves correctly and isn't pointing to stale records.

  4. 4

    Test with a simple static deploy

    Deploy a minimal HTML file to isolate whether the issue is with Netlify or your build configuration.

  5. 5

    Clear cache and redeploy

    Use Netlify's 'Clear cache and deploy site' option to eliminate cached build artifacts causing issues.

Real-Time Netlify Monitoring

API Status Check tracks Netlify status with independent monitoring, uptime stats, and incident history so you can confirm outages quickly.

  • Independent Netlify status checks

    API Status Check performs independent monitoring so you can verify Netlify status even if official updates are delayed.

  • Incident history and uptime data

    Review recent incidents, deployment success rates, and reliability trends to understand Netlify stability.

  • Real-time alerts and integrations

    Get notified with email alerts, RSS feeds, and webhooks when Netlify experiences a new incident.

Alternative Solutions During Netlify Outages

Use Vercel or Cloudflare Pages as backup

During Netlify outages, deploy to Vercel or Cloudflare Pages as temporary hosting alternatives for static sites.

Serve from a local cache

If you mirror builds to S3 or another CDN, fail over to that backup during Netlify CDN issues.

Queue deployments locally

If deployments are failing, queue them locally and retry once Netlify status returns to normal.

Monitor recovery via API Status Check

Set up alerts to get notified the moment Netlify recovers from an outage.

Get notified when Netlify is back up

No account needed. We will email you once and thats it.

Netlify Status FAQ

Is Netlify down right now?

Why is my Netlify site returning 502 errors?

502 errors usually indicate CDN edge node issues or backend problems. Check the status page for CDN incidents.
