Frequently asked questions

Is Common App down right now?

Our latest stored check just now found Common App reachable. The live check on this page runs a fresh test from our servers when you open it.

Why can I not open Common App 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 Common App is down for everyone?

Our servers could not get a normal response either, so Common App 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 Common App 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 Common App?

Over the last 825 checks in the past 30 days, Common App answered 100% of the time from our single monitoring location. This is our own measurement, not an official figure from Common App.
