When a website will not open, the first question is simple: is it down, or is the problem your own connection? This website down checker answers it in a few seconds. Real computers in up to 20 places around the world try to open the site at the same moment, and you get one clear answer: up for everyone, down for everyone, or down only in some places.
How to check if a website is down
- Type the site's address, for example
example.com, and press Check now. - Watch the map. Each dot is a place trying to open the site, and it turns green, amber or red when its answer arrives.
- Read the answer at the top and the row for each place below it.
You can test from one area, such as Pakistan, Asia or Europe, or type a city, a country or an internet provider under More options. That is the quickest way to tell a regional block from a real outage.
What the answers mean
- It's up for everyone: every place loaded the site. If it still does not open for you, the problem is between you and the site. The checker lists what to try: reloading without the cache, switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data, turning off a VPN or ad blocker, clearing your DNS cache, and checking whether the site is blocked where you are.
- It's down for everyone: no place could load it. The reason comes in plain words, with what the site owner should look at.
- Down in some places: the site works in some countries and not in others. A network route, a block in one country or one of several servers failing is the usual cause.
Each place shows exactly what it got back. Domain not found means DNS has no address for the name, often an expired domain. Connection refused means the server is there but the web server is not running. No answer in time means the server is offline, overloaded or behind a firewall. Server error with a number such as 500 or 503 means the site's software failed even though the server answered.
Is the site down, or is it blocked?
Some sites are blocked by an internet provider or in a whole country. If the checker says the site is up for everyone but it never opens on your connection, check it again with your own country picked under Check from. If it fails there and works elsewhere, a block is the likely reason.
Privacy and limits
The checks run on Globalping, a free network of test computers from jsDelivr. Their results are public, so the checker leaves out login details and anything after ? in the address. PieToolkit does not store the sites you check; the privacy page has the details. Every visitor gets 250 free tests an hour, one per place.
Questions
Is this a server down checker too?
Yes. It opens the address the way a browser does, so a server that is switched off, refuses connections or answers with an error shows up as down, with the reason.
The site is up, but slow. What now?
Every check here is part of the website checker, so the full report already has it: the summary at the top sums it all up, the Security section covers the certificate and security headers, and the Uptime section times every step of each request and shows where the time goes.
Can I check a game or app server?
For a host that is not a website, open the Ping section, also on its own page as the ping test. It measures the round trip, packet loss and jitter from each place.
