CHECK.

Request the homepage over HTTPS from outside your network, follow the redirects and see the final code, the response time and redirect loops.

Runs only this check. For all 33 checks at once, use the full Domain X-Ray. Public lookups only; nothing is stored on the server.

01 // WHAT THE CHECK VERIFIES

What the check verifies

Requests the homepage over HTTPS, follows the redirects and records the response code, the final destination and the response time.

02 // WHY IT MATTERS

Why it matters

Shows whether the site is up as seen from outside your network, from the Cloudflare network, and how many hops visitors go through before the page.

03 // HOW TO READ THE RESULT

What each result means

OK
The homepage answered over HTTPS, without an error, within 3 seconds.
WARNING
The navigation ends on HTTP, the page answered 4xx (401 and 403 are usually a WAF or a login) or it took more than 3 seconds.
FAIL
No answer over HTTPS, a 5xx answer or more than 6 redirects (a loop).
NOT TESTED
The domain points to a private address or has no public IP.

ERROR and TIMEOUT mean the query did not finish (the source was down or slow), not a problem with the domain: run the check again.

04 // HOW TO FIX

How to fix

The same redirect chain in the terminal:

curl -sIL https://example.com/ | grep -iE '^(HTTP|location)'

Would rather have someone else do it? Bit Happens can fix this →
