Website Reachability Test
Check if a website is reachable and responding. Enter any URL and we'll test it from our server. You get an instant answer: reachable or not, plus status code and response time. No signup, no installation.
Test Website Reachability
Enter a URL (with or without https://).
How to Use This Tool
Type or paste a URL into the box above. You can use a full URL (https://example.com) or just the domain (example.com). Click "Test" and we'll send a request from our server. Within seconds you'll see whether the site responded, the HTTP status code, and how long it took.
Why This Tool Matters
When a site won't load, the first question is: is it down, or is it just you? This test runs from our server, so it helps you distinguish between your local network or DNS and a real outage. Developers use it to confirm deployments are live. Support teams use it to quickly check if a customer's reported site is up before digging deeper.
Use Cases
- Check if your own site is reachable from the internet after a deploy or DNS change
- Verify a third-party API or service is up before you assume the problem is on your end
- Troubleshoot "site not loading" reports by testing from an external vantage point
- Monitor uptime by running this test periodically (e.g. via a cron job that calls our API)
FAQs
What does "reachable" mean?
Reachable means the server responded with an HTTP status in the 2xx or 3xx range. A 4xx or 5xx, or a connection failure, means the site is not reachable from our test server.
Why might a site show unreachable when it works in my browser?
Our test runs from our server. Firewalls, geo-blocking, or rate limits can block our server while allowing your connection. Timeouts and DNS issues on our network can also cause false negatives.
How long does the test take?
Usually a few seconds. We wait up to 15 seconds for a response. Slow or overloaded servers may take longer.
Can I test URLs with redirects?
Yes. We follow redirects. The final URL and status are reported.
Is this tool free?
Yes. No signup required. We don't log or store the URLs you test.
