Is GitHub Down Right Now?
This page checks whether GitHub is currently reachable. If the service appears down, it may indicate a server outage, regional issue, DNS problem, or local network connectivity failure.
Current Status
Refreshing status...
Status is a practical signal, not a global guarantee. A host can appear up here while local DNS, ISP routing, or firewall rules still block your path.
Checking...
What does “down” mean?
“Down” means the latest check could not get a usable response from GitHub. This can reflect a platform outage, DNS resolver issue, regional connectivity failure, or local firewall/network constraints.
Service outage
The provider may be experiencing an incident.
DNS issue
Resolver failures can block domain lookups.
Regional/local path issue
Routing, ISP, or local policy can affect only some users.
Troubleshooting steps
- Refresh the page and run the check again.
- Check the official GitHub status page if available.
- Try another network connection (mobile hotspot or VPN off).
- Flush DNS cache and retry.
- Wait a few minutes and run another check.
- Check status first, then test latency and DNS for the same host.
- Verify whether a specific API or CI endpoint is failing.
- Re-test after clearing local DNS cache if failures are inconsistent.
