How to check if a website is working
Paste the address in the box above and press check. The tool connects to the site from our server and tells you whether it is online or down, the HTTP status, how many milliseconds it took to respond and whether the SSL certificate is valid. If it says online but the site will not open for you, the problem is probably on your side: your internet connection, your DNS or your browser cache.
How to check if a website is working worldwide
A website can work in India and fail in another country, or work for everyone except one network. To check it properly from several places:
- Run this checker first. It shows whether the server answers at all and how fast.
- Check DNS from public resolvers. Our domain health check and a DNS lookup show whether the domain points to the right server. Recent DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to reach every country.
- Test from another country. Use a multi-location website monitor, a VPN set to another region, or ask a contact abroad to open the site. If it fails only in some regions, look at your CDN, firewall or geo-blocking rules.
- Look at the status page of your hosting provider. Customers of The PowerHost can see live status at status.tphost.in.
- Set up monitoring. For alerts the moment your site goes down anywhere, continuous uptime monitoring checks it every minute from several locations.
Why website uptime and speed matter
Every minute your website is down, enquiries and orders go to a competitor, and a slow site loses visitors before they see your offer, especially on mobile data. Search engines also notice repeated downtime. This free website uptime checker gives you an instant answer to whether your site is working right now.
What This Tool Measures
- Online status — whether your site is reachable right now.
- Response time — how many milliseconds it took your server to respond.
- SSL security — whether HTTPS is enforced and the certificate is valid.
- Server details — HTTP status, time to first byte, server software and IP address.
What is a Good Website Response Time?
Industry benchmarks for India and global audiences:
- Under 800ms — Excellent. Users perceive this as instant.
- 800–2000ms — Needs improvement. Bounce rates start climbing.
- Over 2000ms — Critical. You're losing visitors before they see your offer.
If your site lands in the yellow or red zone, the most common culprits are cheap shared hosting, oversized images, too many third-party scripts, no caching/CDN, and bloated WordPress themes/plugins. We help businesses across Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune and Chennai diagnose and fix exactly these issues.
How to Improve Your Website Speed
- Move to a faster host. Shared hosting under ₹500/month is often the bottleneck.
- Add a CDN like Cloudflare — instantly cuts load times for global users.
- Compress images using WebP format — usually saves 60–80% bandwidth.
- Cache aggressively. Browser + server-side caching can shave 1–2 seconds off repeat loads.
- Audit third-party scripts — chat widgets, analytics, ad pixels add up fast.
- Consider a custom rebuild if your site is on heavy WordPress themes — see our website cost calculator for typical investment.
