Check the official Vercel status page

Vercel posts incident updates, degraded service notices, and maintenance windows on its official status dashboard.

vercel-status.com

Look for community reports

Crowd-sourced signals can confirm widespread deployment failures, edge function issues, or CDN errors.

Downdetector reports

Verify with independent monitoring

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

Common Vercel Issues During Outages

Deployment failures or build errors

Git push deployments may fail, hang during build, or show build timeout errors when Vercel's build system is experiencing issues.

Edge function errors or timeouts

Serverless and edge functions may return 500/504 errors, time out, or fail to execute during platform instability.

Slow or unavailable sites

Deployed sites may become unresponsive, show increased latency, or return 502/503 errors during CDN outages.

Domain and DNS resolution issues

Custom domains may fail to resolve, show SSL certificate errors, or become temporarily unreachable during outages.

Troubleshooting Steps Before You Assume Vercel Is Down

  1. 1

    Check deployment logs

    View build and runtime logs in Vercel dashboard to identify if errors are deployment-specific or platform-wide.

  2. 2

    Test with a new deployment

    Push a simple change to trigger a new deployment and see if the issue is specific to your project or affecting all builds.

  3. 3

    Verify edge function status

    Test edge functions directly with curl or browser to isolate runtime issues from CDN or routing problems.

  4. 4

    Check domain configuration

    Verify DNS records and SSL certificates in Vercel dashboard to rule out configuration issues.

  5. 5

    Monitor via Vercel API

    Use Vercel API to programmatically check deployment status and automate incident detection.

Real-Time Vercel Monitoring

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

  • Independent Vercel status checks

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

  • Incident history and uptime data

    Review recent incidents, response times, and reliability trends to understand Vercel stability.

  • Real-time alerts and integrations

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

Alternative Solutions During Vercel Outages

Use preview deployments

During production outages, preview deployments may still be accessible as a temporary fallback.

Enable ISR or static exports

Incremental Static Regeneration or static exports can provide better resilience during serverless outages.

Implement health checks

Set up external health checks and status pages to monitor your Vercel deployments independently.

Monitor recovery via API Status Check

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

Get notified when Vercel is back up

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

Vercel Status FAQ

Is Vercel down right now?
