Frequently asked
How does WebsiteDown check Wikipedia?
We send a direct HTTP HEAD request to wikipedia.org from our serverless infrastructure, measuring the response time and HTTP status code. We also scan social networks, Reddit, and news sources for outage signals.
When was the last Wikipedia outage?
The most recent outage data for Wikipedia is available on this page. We track wikipedia.org with HTTP probes and an AI source scan across community reports, social media, and official status pages.
What does Wikipedia's response time mean?
Response time measures how long wikipedia.org 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 Wikipedia experiencing a global outage?
Our probe checks wikipedia.org 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.
