Website Status Checker
Check whether a site is online from our servers — with its HTTP status, response time, redirects and server details.
We load the site from OrangeHost's servers, so you can tell a real outage apart from a problem with your own connection, DNS cache or ISP.
Total response time, time to first byte, the HTTP status code and every redirect hop the site sends visitors through before the final page.
Server software, CDN or proxy, IP and IPv6 support, compression, HSTS, HTTP→HTTPS redirect and the response headers.
Good to know
A few answers to the questions we hear most about outages, status codes and what a slow response really means.
Our check runs from OrangeHost’s servers, so a green result means the site answered us over the public internet. If it still won’t load for you, the problem is almost always local: your device or router has cached an old DNS answer, your ISP’s resolver hasn’t picked up a recent DNS change, a browser extension, VPN, firewall or antivirus is blocking the request, or the site is geo-blocking or rate-limiting your region. Try a different network (mobile data), an incognito window, flush your DNS cache, or test from a public DNS resolver such as 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8.
Every web response starts with a three-digit code. 2xx means success (200 OK is the normal case). 3xx is a redirect — the browser is sent to another URL, which we follow automatically and list in the redirect chain. 4xx means the request was refused: 401/403 need permission, 404 is a missing page, 429 is rate limiting. 5xx means the server itself failed: 500 is a generic crash, 502/504 mean a proxy or CDN could not reach the origin, and 503 means the site is down for maintenance or overloaded. We treat 2xx as up, 4xx as “reachable but returned an error” and 5xx as down.
We open a fresh connection from our servers and time each hop from sending the request until the response has been read (up to 64 KB of the page). The response time shown is the total across every hop in the redirect chain, so a site that bounces from http:// to https:// to www. adds up all three. “First byte” is the time until the first hop’s headers arrived — a good proxy for server processing time. Under 500 ms is fast, under 1.5 s is average and anything over 4 s is flagged as slow. Numbers vary with distance, CDN caching and server load, so compare trends rather than single checks.
HTTP Strict Transport Security is a response header (Strict-Transport-Security) that tells browsers to only ever talk to the site over HTTPS for a set period, even if someone types http:// or follows an old link. It closes the window where a first insecure request could be intercepted, and it is a requirement for a top security grade. Sites without HSTS should at least redirect http:// to https:// — we show both checks in the report. It is enabled with a single header in your web server or .htaccess; OrangeHost cPanel accounts can turn it on from the SSL/TLS settings.
First check the details: “Unreachable” with no IP means DNS is the problem (expired domain, wrong name servers or missing A record); a connection error means the server or firewall isn’t answering; a 5xx means the server is up but the application or a proxy is failing — look at error logs, recent deployments and resource limits. If you host with OrangeHost, our support team is available 24/7 by ticket and live chat and will check the server, PHP, database and DNS with you. Otherwise contact your host and share this report link so they can see exactly what we saw.
