How to check if a website is up

1. Enter the URL

   Put the page URL into the "Website URL" field. Bare domains like example.com work — https:// is added automatically when missing.

2. What happens behind the scenes

   Our server issues a GET, follows redirects, and reports back the final HTTP status. 2xx is considered OK; anything else is NOT OK.

3. Press Run

   Result includes statusLabel ("OK" or "NOT OK"), userMessage, status (HTTP code), finalUrl (after redirects), contentType, and a 500-character body snippet for sanity-checking.

4. Interpret edge cases

   Network errors return statusLabel "NOT OK" with a detail field — usually DNS failure, TLS mismatch, or refused connection. The page may still work from your browser if a CDN or geo-block treats us differently.
