Website Status Checker FAQ

How do I check if a website is down?

Paste the website URL into our website down checker and click Check Now. We send a fast HEAD request and report the HTTP status, response time, and whether the site is up.

Is it down right now or just me?

Use the checker to see if the site responds from our servers. If it shows up and you still cannot reach it, the issue is likely local (DNS, ISP, or browser cache).

What does an HTTP status code mean?

HTTP status codes indicate how the server responded. 200 means OK, 3xx redirects are normal, 4xx errors indicate a client issue, and 5xx errors indicate server problems.

Why does response time matter for website status checks?

High response time can mean a site is degraded even if it is technically up. Monitoring response time helps you detect performance incidents early.

Can I monitor multiple websites for uptime?

Yes. API Status Check monitors 100+ developer APIs continuously and provides alerts, badges, and status history for your dependencies.
