What It Does

A Website Downtime Checker helps you:

• Test if your website is currently accessible worldwide

• Check your server’s response time

• Determine whether issues are localized or global

How It Works

1. You plug in your website’s URL.

2. The tool sends multiple pings from global checkpoints.

3. It reports:

   • Up or Down status

   • Response time (in ms)

   • HTTP status codes (e.g. 200, 404, 500)

Why It Matters

• Fast detection reduces revenue loss from downtime.

• Performance insights — slow responses may hurt SEO and UX.

• Global monitoring exposes regional access issues or routing glitches.

Common Causes for Downtime

• Server crashes or scheduled maintenance

• DNS misconfiguration or propagation delays

• Hosting provider issues or traffic bottlenecks

• Security attacks like DDoS

What You Can Do Next

1. Confirm the issue isn’t local (clear cache, test on different devices/networks)

2. Contact your hosting provider with error details

3. If DNS-related, use a propagation tool and verify name servers

4. Consider a monitoring service for real-time alerts and logs

Benefits of Pro Tools

• Automated minute-by-minute checks

• Alerts via email/SMS/Slack

• Achieve SLA transparency with uptime reporting

• Useful for teams managing multiple domains

Quick Checklist

• Enter your domain → run the test.

• Check response status and times from each location.

• If downtime is confirmed—take action (host/DNS/provider).

• Set up continuous monitoring to prevent future problems.
