अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न
Is Internet Archive down right now?
Our latest stored check 16 minutes ago found Internet Archive reachable. The live check on this page runs a fresh test from our servers when you open it.
Why can I not open Internet Archive if the check says it is up?
The problem is probably on your side: your network, DNS cache, VPN, browser, an extension or a regional block. Try mobile data or another network and clear your DNS cache.
What does it mean if Internet Archive is down for everyone?
Our servers could not get a normal response either, so Internet Archive or its hosting is having a problem. Check the official status page or social account and try again in a few minutes.
How does SiteDownCheck decide Internet Archive is down?
We request the home page from our servers. A connection failure, timeout or 5xx error is confirmed with a second check a few seconds later before it counts as down. A 4xx response such as 403 counts as reachable, because many sites refuse automated requests.
What is the uptime of Internet Archive?
Over the last 825 checks in the past 30 days, Internet Archive answered 99.39% of the time from our single monitoring location. This is our own measurement, not an official figure from Internet Archive.
