If Alibaba looks down for you
Shopping sites suffer most during sales and holidays, when traffic spikes cause slow pages, failed carts and checkout errors even though the home page is up. Wait a few minutes before retrying a payment.

- Clear DNS and disable VPNFlush your DNS cache, or try a different resolver such as 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8, and turn off VPNs and proxies.
- Look at the layersRun the root-cause finder to see whether DNS, the connection, the certificate or the HTTP response fails, or check DNS and SSL.

Frequently asked questions
Is Alibaba down right now?
Our latest stored check 14 minutes ago found Alibaba reachable. The live check on this page runs a fresh test from our servers when you open it.
Why can I not open Alibaba 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 Alibaba is down for everyone?
Our servers could not get a normal response either, so Alibaba 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 Alibaba 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 Alibaba?
Over the last 825 checks in the past 30 days, Alibaba answered 99.15% of the time from our single monitoring location. This is our own measurement, not an official figure from Alibaba.
