Status Situs Web
Periksa apakah situs web aktif atau mati, ukur waktu respons, dan inspeksi header HTTP.
Website Status Checker
Check if any website is up or down. Measure response time, inspect HTTP headers, and trace redirect chains -- all for free.
What This Tool Does
The Website Status Checker lets you instantly verify whether any website is responding to requests. Enter a URL and within seconds you will see the HTTP status code along with a clear up or down verdict. The tool works with any publicly accessible website, whether it is a personal blog, a corporate homepage, or a large-scale web application.
Results include the full HTTP response code -- such as 200 OK, 301 Redirect, 404 Not Found, or 503 Service Unavailable -- so you can immediately understand the state of the site. Unlike checking from your own browser, this tool sends requests from our servers, giving you an external perspective that confirms whether the issue is global or limited to your local network.
The status checker is part of the free domain tools suite on Domainwise. No account or sign-up is needed, and you can run as many checks as you like. The tool also accepts a ?q= URL parameter, so you can bookmark or share direct links to status checks for any site.
Response Time and Performance
Beyond a simple up-or-down check, the Website Status Checker measures the time-to-first-byte (TTFB) for every request. TTFB is the time it takes from sending the request to receiving the very first byte of the response, and it is one of the most widely used indicators of server responsiveness.
Monitoring response time helps you identify slow servers, unexpected latency, or performance regressions after infrastructure changes. If you are migrating hosting providers, switching CDNs, or updating server configurations, running a status check before and after gives you a quick benchmark to compare.
Response times are displayed in milliseconds, making it easy to spot differences. A healthy, well-configured server typically responds in under 200 ms, while times above 1000 ms may indicate performance issues worth investigating further.
HTTP Headers and Redirect Chains
Every status check returns the full set of HTTP response headers from the target server. Headers reveal critical information about how a site is configured -- from the content type and caching policies to security headers like Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and Content-Security-Policy. This makes the tool useful for both debugging and security auditing.
The tool also traces the complete redirect chain from your original URL to its final destination. Each hop in the chain is recorded, showing the status code and target URL at every step. This is invaluable for diagnosing redirect loops, detecting unnecessary hops that slow down page loads, and verifying that HTTP-to-HTTPS redirects are properly configured.
For example, if you enter http://example.com, you might see the chain: http://example.com (301) to https://example.com (301) to https://www.example.com (200). Each step is clearly laid out so you can verify the behavior matches your expectations.
Common HTTP Status Codes Explained
Understanding the status code in your results helps you diagnose the situation quickly. Here are the most common codes you may encounter:
| Code | Meaning | What It Tells You |
|---|---|---|
| 200 OK | Success | The website is up and responding normally. |
| 301 / 302 | Redirect | The URL redirects to another location. The redirect chain section shows where. |
| 403 Forbidden | Access Denied | The server is reachable but refuses to serve the requested page. |
| 404 Not Found | Page Missing | The server is up, but the specific page or resource does not exist. |
| 500 Internal Server Error | Server Error | Something went wrong on the server side. Usually a temporary issue. |
| 503 Service Unavailable | Overloaded / Maintenance | The server is temporarily unable to handle the request, often due to maintenance or heavy load. |
Who Uses This Tool and Why
The Website Status Checker serves a wide range of users, each with different goals:
- Website owners use it to confirm whether their site is accessible to external visitors when they suspect an outage. It answers the question: "Is my site down, or is it just my network?"
- Developers rely on it to debug redirect chains after domain migrations, CDN setup, or server configuration changes. Seeing every redirect hop makes misconfigured redirects easy to spot.
- System administrators inspect HTTP headers to verify security configurations, caching policies, and server software versions in production environments.
- SEO specialists check for unnecessary redirect chains that add latency and may dilute link equity across multiple hops.
- General users simply want to know if a popular service is experiencing a widespread outage before troubleshooting their own connection.
