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

  1. Refresh the page and run the check again.
  2. Check the official GitHub status page if available.
  3. Try another network connection (mobile hotspot or VPN off).
  4. Flush DNS cache and retry.
  5. Wait a few minutes and run another check.
  6. Check status first, then test latency and DNS for the same host.
  7. Verify whether a specific API or CI endpoint is failing.
  8. Re-test after clearing local DNS cache if failures are inconsistent.
