Is it down? Check if a website is down for everyone or just you
We ask the site from a data center, outside your Wi-Fi and your phone company, and show which step failed. Free, no sign-up.
Right now
The services people check most, asked from our servers within the last minute.

A website reaches you in order. When one step fails, everything after it fails too, so the first red step is the one to fix.
1. Domain name
The name is turned into a server address. An expired domain or a deleted DNS record fails here, and the site vanishes for everyone.
2. Server
A connection is opened to that address. A crashed machine, a suspended hosting account or a firewall refuses or ignores it.
3. Certificate
The server proves it is who it says. An expired or mismatched certificate makes browsers show a red warning page.
4. Page
The server sends the page. Errors such as 500 or 503 mean the machine is on but the website software is broken or overloaded.
5. You
If all four pass from our data center and it still won't load for you, the problem is your Wi-Fi, your provider or a stale copy in your browser.
Longer explanations, with what to do at each step: my website is down, what now and is it me or the site.
Your own site? Hear about it before a customer tells you.
We're building monitoring for small businesses: your site checked every minute from our data centers, a text and an email when it stops answering, and reminders before the certificate or domain expires. Early access is open: ask for a quote, and nothing is charged until it runs on your site.
