Best Free Website Down Checker — Built for Devs, No Ads, No Login

Have you ever tried to visit a site and weren’t sure if it’s just you… or if it’s really down?

I had that problem too. So I made a tool:

👉 https://WebsiteDown.xyz

What it does

  • Checks if a website is down — right now
  • Gives you a clean status report
  • Shows uptime history
  • Explains possible reasons
  • No login needed

It’s fast, free, and works on both desktop and mobile.


Why I built it

Other tools felt bloated. Some had ads. Some were confusing.

I wanted something simple, clean, and developer-friendly.

So I made one. No popups. No noise. Just answers.


Bonus features

  • AI writes short outage summaries
  • You can track multiple domains
  • Public status pages are coming soon
  • API is available (if you like to automate)

Try it

🔗 https://WebsiteDown.xyz

Let me know what you think.

And if you break it, I’ll fix it :)


PS: Yes, it handles redirects, cloud blocks, and 403s too.
