About this status page

Is Wikipedia down for everyone or just you?

HostCry keeps a live status page for Wikipedia so you can answer “is wikipedia down?” without guessing. We run scheduled HTTP checks from 8 countries (Brazil, France, Germany, India, Japan, Singapore, United Kingdom, United States) and show which locations report UP or DOWN. If your country isn’t one of those monitors, the Your location check on this page still tests Wikipedia live from where you are.

If Wikipedia is UP here but not on your device, the issue is often local (ISP, DNS, VPN, Wi‑Fi). If many countries show DOWN, the outage is wider. Need a deeper scan? Run a live check from 114 countries. Or browse all monitored status pages for other popular services.

  • Monitors Wikipedia from 8 countries every 5 minutes
  • Live “Your location” check when your country isn’t in the monitored list
  • Per-country UP / DOWN breakdown so you can see if the issue is local or wider
  • 24-hour timeline plus recent automatic check history
  • One-click full live scan from 114 countries

FAQ

Wikipedia is currently UP from 8 monitored countries (Brazil, France, Germany, India, Japan, Singapore, United Kingdom, United States).

From United States, we also check Wikipedia from your location. Right now that result is UP, so Wikipedia looks reachable in your country — if it still will not load, the issue is likely your connection, ISP, DNS, VPN, or device. If your location later shows DOWN while most other countries are UP, the problem may be regional rather than a full outage.

In the last 48 hours, HostCry recorded 4 confirmed regional DOWN incidents for Wikipedia (recent recovered detections in Japan). Incidents open only after 3 consecutive failed checks from that country.

Scheduled monitors currently check from: Brazil, France, Germany, India, Japan, Singapore, United Kingdom, United States. For a live scan from 114 countries, use Check now.

HostCry checks Wikipedia from multiple countries every few minutes. A country is only marked DOWN after 3 consecutive failed checks, so single blips are ignored. If most confirmed locations report UP, the issue is likely on your side.

Normally about every 5 minutes from all monitored countries. If a country fails, we recheck only those failed locations every 1 minute until they recover, while full multi-country scans continue every 5 minutes. Incidents are confirmed only after 3 consecutive fails.
