See right now whether a website is up or down, with status code and response time
This checks whether a site responds right now by sending it an HTTP HEAD request and timing the response, this is how every browser-based "ping" tool actually works, since a public web tool has no way to open a raw ICMP socket the way the command-line ping does. It's a fast, practical proxy for "is the site reachable and responding."
How to use:
Tips: a single check is a snapshot, for tracking reliability over multiple checks, use the "Online Ping Website Tool," which logs a running history.
No, it's an HTTP HEAD-based check with timing, since browsers and public web tools can't open raw ICMP sockets. It measures the same practical thing (is the server responding) via HTTP instead.
It means the request couldn't get a successful response, this could be the server being offline, a network issue, a firewall block, or the server timing out.
A non-200 code (e.g. a redirect or an error status) doesn't necessarily mean the site is "down", it just reflects exactly what the server returned to this specific request.
Yes, just click "Check status" again, for a running log across multiple checks with min/avg/max timing, use the Online Ping Website Tool instead.
