Frequently Asked Questions
How does the tool know if a site is down for everyone?
We open the site from our server and from your browser. If neither can reach it, it is very likely down for everyone.
What does HTTP 503 or 502 mean?
The server is overloaded, in maintenance or a service behind it failed. It is usually temporary.
The tool says up, but the site does not open for me. Why?
A problem on your side such as DNS, VPN or your network. Restart your router and try mobile data.
Why does the tool say the site blocks our server?
Some sites use a firewall that blocks automated visits and answer with 403 or 429. The site itself is usually online.
Why is a part of the check “not tested”?
Your browser cannot safely test insecure http:// addresses from a secure page.
Is it free?
