This Disclaimer applies to everything published on SiteDownCheck at https://sitedowncheck.com, including tool results, status pages, guides and articles. It should be read with our Terms of Service.
Results are informational
Our tools report what our servers observed at a particular time. They are designed to help you investigate, not to give a final verdict. Results may be cached for a short period (between 5 seconds and 10 minutes for free checks), may be affected by network conditions, and may be incomplete or out of date by the time you read them.
Single vantage point
Each check is made from our own servers, from one location. A website that appears down, slow or blocked from our servers may work normally for you or for visitors elsewhere. The reverse is also possible: it may look fine to us and fail for your users because of regional routing, firewalls, CDN behaviour, DNS caching or login requirements. Use more than one source before drawing conclusions.
Not professional advice
Nothing on the site is professional, legal, financial, security or engineering advice. Guides and articles are general information written for a broad audience. Your systems, hosting and legal situation are specific to you. Consult a qualified professional where the decision matters.
Test before you apply
If a guide or tool suggests a change, such as editing DNS records, changing server configuration, renewing certificates or altering security headers, test it in a safe environment first, keep a backup and make sure you can roll back. We are not responsible for downtime, data loss or other harm that results from changes you make.
Popular-site status pages
Some pages on the site show the status of well-known websites and services. These pages display the result of our own automated check. They are not an official statement by the company concerned, and the company has not reviewed or endorsed them. We have no affiliation with, and are not sponsored by, any of the brands or domains that appear. If you need to know whether a service has a confirmed outage, check that company's own official status channel.
Alerts and monitoring
Monitoring and alerts depend on our servers, email providers and your own webhook endpoints. Alerts can be delayed, missed or sent in error. Do not rely on the service as the only safeguard for systems where an outage could cause serious harm or loss.
External links
We link to third-party sites for reference. We do not control them and do not endorse their content, products or practices. A link is not a guarantee of safety or accuracy, and you use linked sites at your own risk. Third-party services that our tools query (for example Google PageSpeed Insights, registry WHOIS/RDAP servers, crt.sh and public DNS services) may return data that is incomplete or wrong.
Availability of the service
The service is free and provided as is. It may be slow, unavailable, changed or discontinued at any time without notice. We do not guarantee any particular uptime.
Advertising and affiliate disclosure
Ads may be shown on the site. If advertising is enabled, ads are served by Google and are labelled as advertising. We do not control which ads are shown, and an ad is not an endorsement. See our Cookie Policy for how ad technology interacts with your browser.
We may add affiliate links in future, for example to hosting or tools. If we do, we will mark them clearly, and we may earn a commission if you buy through them at no extra cost to you. We will not let this change what our diagnostics report.
Trademarks
All product names, logos and brands mentioned on the site belong to their respective owners. Their use is only to identify the services being discussed and does not imply any association or endorsement.
Accuracy and corrections
We try to keep content accurate, but errors happen. If you spot a mistake, or you are the owner of a site and would like a page corrected, email contact@sitedowncheck.com and we will look into it.
Limitation
To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for loss or damage arising from your reliance on the site's results or content. Nothing in this Disclaimer limits any rights you have that cannot lawfully be limited.
