Is It Down Right Now?
Check if a website or service is actually down, or if it's just your connection.
What does this tool actually measure?
Can I Connect? sends real HTTPS requests from your browser and measures how long they take to come back. This is not a traditional network ping (ICMP). It's closer to what your browser actually experiences when loading a website or connecting to an API.
The numbers include DNS lookup, connection setup, encryption handshake, and the server's response, covering the full journey a real request takes. Full technical details →
