How do I check if a website is down?
Enter the website address in the search field on the WebsiteStatus home page and click Check status. We will probe the site over HTTPS, report whether it is up or down, show the HTTP status code, measure the response time, and detect any redirects — all within seconds. No account, no API key, and no installation required.
What is the difference between a client error and a server error?
Client errors (4xx) mean the request was malformed or the resource does not exist — for example, 404 Not Found or 403 Forbidden. Server errors (5xx) mean the server failed to process a valid request — for example, 500 Internal Server Error or 503 Service Unavailable. WebsiteStatus categorizes each check accordingly so you know where the problem lies.
Can WebsiteStatus detect a hacked or defaced website?
WebsiteStatus checks whether the server is responding, but it does not scan for malware or content changes. However, the page title detection feature can give you a clue — if the title suddenly changes to something unexpected, it may indicate a defacement. For full security scanning, use a dedicated malware detection tool.
What is a CDN and can it affect status checks?
A CDN (Content Delivery Network) serves your website from multiple geographic locations to improve speed and reliability. If your site uses a CDN, WebsiteStatus may reach a different edge server on each check, which can result in slightly different response times. A CDN generally improves uptime but can mask origin server issues.
What is DNS resolution and why does it matter?
DNS (Domain Name System) translates a human-readable domain name like example.com into a machine-readable IP address. If DNS resolution fails, your website will be unreachable even if the server itself is running perfectly. WebsiteStatus verifies DNS records as part of the check process to help you rule out DNS issues.
What does a 404 status code mean?
A 404 status code means "Not Found." The server is running and responding, but the specific page or resource you requested does not exist at that URL. This often happens when a page has been deleted, moved without a redirect, or when the URL was typed incorrectly. It does not mean the entire website is down.
