Frequently asked questions
How do I use Website Down Checker?
1. Enter a public URL: Use the specific HTTP or HTTPS page you want to check. 2. Run the availability check: Inspect the HTTP response to a HEAD request from the GigaTools server. 3. Investigate the result: A 4xx, 5xx or timeout needs context. Check your own network and provider status before declaring an outage.
Does this check worldwide uptime?
No. It uses one server and a HEAD request. Sites may block the checker or treat HEAD differently from a normal browser request.
Does no response mean my website is down for everyone?
No. Timeouts, DNS, TLS, firewalls or bot restrictions can prevent this server from checking a site. Confirm from another network.
