What does it do?

Test if a site is reachable and quickly review the response status and timing.

How does it work?

SiteIndex's server checks the site directly (avoiding browser CORS limits) and reports the status code, response time, and full redirect chain. The Advanced panel adds repeat timing samples to help distinguish a one-off slowdown from a consistent problem.

When to use it
  • Check whether a site is down for everyone or just for you.
  • Confirm a site recovered after an outage or deployment.
  • Spot a slow or unstable response before customers report it.
Inputs and outputs
Input
A public website, domain, or network value required by the check.
Output
A result shown in the browser that can be reviewed or copied where supported.
Limitations
  • Results depend on the input, browser, network, and external service involved.
  • This tool is informational and does not replace specialist diagnostics.
Privacy and data handling

The requested public target is sent to SiteIndex only as needed to perform the check. SiteIndex does not require an account or intentionally store the target as a report. See the Privacy Policy for analytics and retention details. Read the Privacy Policy.

How to use it

  1. Enter the public website URL you want to check.
  2. Run the request and read the UP or DOWN result and HTTP status.
  3. Review redirects and response timing to understand what happened.
  4. Re-check after a fix or compare with your local browser if results differ.
