Response time measures how long claude.ai takes to reply to our server-side probe. Under 500ms is good, 500–1000ms is elevated, and over 1000ms suggests degraded performance. Your experience may differ based on your location and ISP.
Is Claude experiencing a global outage?
Our probe checks claude.ai from a single serverless region. If the service is up in our check but down for you, the issue may be regional — related to your ISP, local DNS, or geographic routing.
When was the last Claude outage?
The most recent outage data for Claude is available on this page. We continuously monitor claude.ai with HTTP probes and AI-powered signal scanning.
How does WebsiteDown check Claude?
We send a direct HTTP HEAD request to claude.ai from our serverless infrastructure, measuring the response time and HTTP status code. We also scan social networks, Reddit, and news sources for outage signals.
Is the Claude API also affected?
API outages and web interface outages don't always coincide. If Claude's website is down, the API may still be operational (or vice versa). Check the status page for service-specific details.
Are AI responses slower during a Claude outage?
