youtube.com was checked by WebsiteStatus on October 18, 2026 at 3:30 AM. The server responded with HTTP status code 200 and a response time of 272 ms. The current status is: Up & running. The site redirected to https://www.youtube.com/. 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.
A response time under 200 milliseconds is excellent. Between 200 and 500 milliseconds is average for most websites. Anything over 1 second may feel slow to visitors. Response times above 3 seconds can hurt search rankings and user experience. WebsiteStatus measures the exact round-trip time in milliseconds.
Yes, WebsiteStatus is a lightweight tool you can use to manually verify whether your site is up after deployments, DNS changes, or server maintenance. For continuous 24/7 monitoring with alerts, consider pairing it with a dedicated uptime monitoring service. WebsiteStatus gives you instant snapshots whenever you need them.
An SSL/TLS certificate enables encrypted HTTPS connections. Browsers display a padlock icon when the certificate is valid. WebsiteStatus connects over HTTPS and verifies the certificate during the check. If a site's certificate is expired, self-signed, or misconfigured, the check may report the site as offline or show an error status.
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.
Enter the website address in the search field on the WebsiteStatus home page and click Check status. We will probe the site over HTTPS, report whether it is up or down, show the HTTP status code, measure the response time, and detect any redirects — all within seconds. No account, no API key, and no installation required.
WebsiteStatus checks whether the server is responding, but it does not scan for malware or content changes. However, the page title detection feature can give you a clue — if the title suddenly changes to something unexpected, it may indicate a defacement. For full security scanning, use a dedicated malware detection tool.
