youtube.com was checked by WebsiteStatus on October 18, 2026 at 3:30 AM. The server responded with HTTP status code 200 and a response time of 272 ms. The current status is: Up & running. The site redirected to https://www.youtube.com/. You can re-check this site at any time by clicking the "Re-check now" button above, or check another website from the home page.
Status codes in the 200-299 range indicate success. 200 OK is the most common and means the page loaded normally. 201 means a resource was created (common in API responses). 204 means the server processed the request but returned no content. WebsiteStatus reports any 2xx or 3xx code as "Up & running."
Yes. Every check is saved to our database and each checked site gets its own permanent page at /your-site.com. You can revisit that page at any time to see the latest status, or re-check to get a fresh result. The recently checked sites list on the home page shows the most recent checks across all users.
Client errors (4xx) mean the request was malformed or the resource does not exist — for example, 404 Not Found or 403 Forbidden. Server errors (5xx) mean the server failed to process a valid request — for example, 500 Internal Server Error or 503 Service Unavailable. WebsiteStatus categorizes each check accordingly so you know where the problem lies.
An SSL/TLS certificate enables encrypted HTTPS connections. Browsers display a padlock icon when the certificate is valid. WebsiteStatus connects over HTTPS and verifies the certificate during the check. If a site's certificate is expired, self-signed, or misconfigured, the check may report the site as offline or show an error status.
The HTTP status code tells you how the server responded. 200 means the page loaded successfully. 301 or 302 means the page redirected to a new URL. 404 means the page was not found. 500 indicates a server-side error. WebsiteStatus displays the exact code returned so you can diagnose the issue.
A 404 status code means "Not Found." The server is running and responding, but the specific page or resource you requested does not exist at that URL. This often happens when a page has been deleted, moved without a redirect, or when the URL was typed incorrectly. It does not mean the entire website is down.
