How to use the status checker

When a website or app won't open, the question is always the same: is the problem the service or my connection? This tool helps you find a clue by testing, from your browser, whether some of the most widely used internet services respond. It is not an official monitor and it does not state categorically that a service is up or down.

When the page opens, four main services (Google, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter/X) are checked automatically after about one second.
To check a specific service, click its card. The card turns yellow ("Checking...") and then green ("Responded") or red ("No response").
To test a whole group, use the buttons Big Tech, Games, Social Media, Streaming or Cloud. To test everything, click "Check All". The services are tested one after another, with a short pause between them.
At the top, the counters show the total number of services and how many responded, did not respond or are being checked. Each card shows the time of the last check and the duration of the attempt in milliseconds.

What you can monitor

The list is fixed and organized into five categories: big technology companies (Google, Gmail, Microsoft, Amazon, Apple, WhatsApp Web and others), games and platforms (Steam, Epic Games, Riot, Minecraft, Roblox, Discord, Twitch), social networks (Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, Telegram Web and others), streaming (Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Spotify and others) and cloud and development infrastructure (AWS, Azure, Cloudflare, Vercel, GitHub, GitLab). You cannot type in your own address.

How to interpret the result

The check starts from your browser, and for security reasons it cannot read the content of the responses. That is why the labels are deliberately cautious, and the result may differ from the real status of the service:

"Responded" means that some response reached the browser. It does not guarantee that login, videos, messages or games are working; a service can have its home page up and still fail in internal functions.
If the direct test fails, the tool tries alternative routes, including a public intermediary service (allorigins.win). This kind of intermediary can return a response even when the target site has problems, so a "Responded" should be read with caution.
"No response" appears when none of the attempts worked. It may point to an outage of the service, but also to a lack of internet on your side, a firewall block, DNS, a VPN or browser extensions. If several services show no response at the same time, suspect your own connection first.

To confirm an outage, check the company's official status page or reports from other users on social networks.

Practical examples

WhatsApp Web won't load: see whether Google and YouTube respond (that indicates your internet works) and then click the WhatsApp Web card. If only it shows no response, it is worth waiting a few minutes and looking at social networks or the official status page.
Lag in an online game: test Steam, Riot or Discord and compare the attempt time with that of other services. A much higher value may indicate instability, but the measured time includes the path to your browser and any alternative attempts.
IT team or developer: the Cloud category gives a first clue when a deploy or repository seems to be down. To confirm, use each provider's official status pages.

Privacy and how it works

The check is done by your browser, which sends requests directly to the addresses of the listed services and, if one fails, to the intermediary service allorigins.win. The services queried can therefore see your IP address, as with any visit to a website. The tool keeps no history: the state of the services exists only while the page is open and is lost when you reload. See the Privacy Policy for more information.

Frequently asked questions

Why does a service show as "Responded" if I can't use it?

Because the tool only detects whether the address returned some response, not whether every function works. Partial failures (login, sending messages, video) are not detected.

Everything shows "No response". Did the internet go down for everyone?

Almost certainly the problem is local: your connection, DNS, VPN or a block in the browser. Simultaneous outages of many large services are rare.

Can I check my company's website?

No. Only the services in the list can be checked. To monitor your own site continuously, use a dedicated monitoring service.

Does the page refresh by itself?

No. Only the four main services are checked automatically when the page opens. The others depend on your click, and every new check is manual.

Is the time in milliseconds the service's ping?

It is the total time of the attempt made by your browser, including any alternative attempts. It serves as a reference, not as a technical latency measurement.
