Is It Down, or Is It Just Me?
Something not loading? Check right from your browser. No account, no app, no nonsense.
How to Check
Can I Connect? has pre-built pages for popular services. Just visit the page and the checks run automatically:
Quick links: Try caniconnect.com/steam, /discord, /playstation, or /xbox. You can also use the short URL: cic.to/steam
Don't see what you're looking for? Use the Custom List to check any website. Just paste the URL.
Reading the Results
Each item on the page is a different server for that service. For each one, you'll see:
Green check + a number (like "45ms")
It's working. The number is how quickly it responded. Smaller is better, but anything shown here means it's reachable.
Red X + "No Response"
Your browser couldn't reach it. Might be down, might be a network issue on your end.
Clock + "Timed Out"
We waited 30 seconds and got nothing back. The service is either very slow or unreachable.
"Down for Everyone" vs. "Just Me"
The initial results come from your browser, so they show your connection specifically. To find out if it's down for everyone:
- Look for "Server Probes" below each endpoint which are checks from our servers in different parts of the world.
- If the server probes also show failures → it's likely down for everyone.
- If the server probes show it's working but yours failed → it's probably something on your end (your Wi-Fi, ISP, or a regional outage).
What's Happening Behind the Scenes
When you open a page, your browser sends a real request to each server, the same kind of request it sends when you visit a website normally. It's not a trick or a simulation. If the check says a server responded, it actually did.
The response time number (like "62ms") tells you how long the round trip took. That's not the same as a download speed test. It's more like asking "how far away is this server?" Lower numbers mean closer/faster connections.
Technical note: The numbers measure full HTTPS request time, not raw network ping. They include DNS, connection setup, and encryption, which is why they may look higher than a traditional "ping" command. But this is actually more realistic because it's what your browser does when loading a website. More details →
