Website Uptime Checker vs. Continuous Monitoring — What's the Difference?
This tool is perfect for instant, one-time checks when you need a quick answer right now.
Continuous monitoring services perform automated checks 24/7, send downtime alerts, and store historical uptime reports.
Our checker is always free with no setup required, while dedicated monitoring services often require a paid plan.
Use this tool for on-demand status checks, and add a dedicated monitoring service if you need round-the-clock alerts and reporting.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is website uptime?
Uptime refers to the percentage of time a website is online and accessible to users. A site with 99.9% uptime is down for less than 9 hours per year.
Why is my website showing as down?
Common causes include server crashes, hosting outages, expired domain names, misconfigured DNS, SSL certificate issues, or traffic overloads. The HTTP status code returned by our tool helps identify the exact issue.
Is the website down for everyone or me?
Our checker sends a request from our servers. If our tool shows the site is up but you can't access it, the issue is on your end. If it shows the site is down, it is genuinely offline for everyone.
What does a 200 status code mean?
HTTP 200 means the server succeeded and the website is fully accessible. It's the best result you can get.
What does a 500 status code mean?
A 500 Internal Server Error means the server is reachable but has hit a serious problem. This often comes from a broken script, database failure, or misconfigured application.
Can I check any website—not my own?
Yes, you can check the uptime status of any publicly accessible URL on the internet.
How accurate is this tool?
Our checker sends a live HTTP request straight to the target server with no caching. The result reflects the current status of that website at the exact moment you check it.
Is this tool completely free?
Yes. No account, no subscription, no usage limits. Completely free to use as often as you need.
