Website Availability Check

Check if Google, YouTube, GitHub, ChatGPT, and other popular websites are accessible from your server network

What is a Website Availability Check?

A website availability check tests whether specific websites can be reached from a given network. It sends HTTP requests to popular websites like Google, YouTube, GitHub, ChatGPT, and others, then measures whether the connection succeeds and how long it takes to respond. This helps you quickly understand which services are accessible and which are blocked in your current network environment.

Why Check Website Availability?

Many countries and organizations restrict access to certain websites. For example, Google services may be blocked in some regions, while ChatGPT might be unavailable in others. By running an availability check, you can quickly identify which services are accessible from your network without visiting each site individually. This is especially useful for:

How the Test Works

Our tool sends HTTP requests from the server's network to each website with a 5-second timeout. For each site, we record whether the connection succeeded, the response time in milliseconds, and the HTTP status code. All 16 websites are tested concurrently to minimize total wait time. The test results reflect the server's network accessibility, not your local browser's connectivity.

Websites We Test

Understanding Status Results

Accessible — The website responded successfully within the timeout period. You can expect this site to be reachable from this network.

Blocked — The website could not be reached. This usually means it is blocked by a firewall, GFW, or network policy.

Slow — The website responded but with a high latency (over 3000ms). The site may be partially accessible or experiencing network issues.

Timeout — No response was received within 5 seconds. The site is likely unreachable from this network.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this test my local network?

No, this test checks website availability from the IPIPAI server's network. The results show whether websites are accessible from our server, which may differ from your local connectivity. To test your own network, try using a local ping or traceroute tool.

Why is a website showing as blocked?

A website may appear blocked for several reasons: government censorship (like the Great Firewall of China), corporate network policies, DNS filtering, or the website itself may be temporarily down. The test only indicates reachability, not the specific reason for blocking.

How accurate is the response time?

Response times are measured from the server side and include network latency plus server processing time. The times are approximate and may vary slightly between tests. For precise latency measurements, use our dedicated Ping Test tool.
