www.reddit.com was checked by WebsiteStatus on October 18, 2026 at 3:34 AM. The server responded with HTTP status code 403 and a response time of 65 ms. The current status is: Client error. You can re-check this site at any time by clicking the "Re-check now" button above, or check another website from the home page.
DNS (Domain Name System) translates a human-readable domain name like example.com into a machine-readable IP address. If DNS resolution fails, your website will be unreachable even if the server itself is running perfectly. WebsiteStatus verifies DNS records as part of the check process to help you rule out DNS issues.
Yes, you can check any public website that has a valid domain name and DNS records. Simply type the domain (for example, example.com) and we will check whether it is up and responding. We support all official top-level domains and country-code domains.
If a domain has expired, DNS records stop resolving and the site becomes unreachable. WebsiteStatus will report the site as Offline because no server responds at that address. If you suspect your domain expired, check with your domain registrar. Renewing the domain and restoring DNS records will bring the site back online.
A CDN (Content Delivery Network) serves your website from multiple geographic locations to improve speed and reliability. If your site uses a CDN, WebsiteStatus may reach a different edge server on each check, which can result in slightly different response times. A CDN generally improves uptime but can mask origin server issues.
Client errors (4xx) mean the request was malformed or the resource does not exist — for example, 404 Not Found or 403 Forbidden. Server errors (5xx) mean the server failed to process a valid request — for example, 500 Internal Server Error or 503 Service Unavailable. WebsiteStatus categorizes each check accordingly so you know where the problem lies.
A 404 status code means "Not Found." The server is running and responding, but the specific page or resource you requested does not exist at that URL. This often happens when a page has been deleted, moved without a redirect, or when the URL was typed incorrectly. It does not mean the entire website is down.
