Website uptime checker
Is your site answering right now? We ask for the homepage once and report the status code and how long the answer took.
What the words mean
- HTTP 200
- The code a site answers with. 200 to 399 means it answered normally. 400 and up means an error, such as 404 (page not found) or 500 (a fault on the server).
- ms
- Milliseconds. 1,000 ms is one second.
How this works
Anything from 200 to 399 counts as up. A response slower than 5 seconds gets flagged.
One check can't tell you about last night. That's what monitoring is for: the same question every 5 minutes, and an email the moment the answer changes.
What it can't tell you
One request from one location, so a failure may be a brief blip. Sites with bot protection may turn us away, and we report that as unknown rather than down.
