Is it DNS?
It's always DNS… or is it? This runs the real checks in your browser — the big resolvers, your own DNS, and whether a major provider is the one having a bad day.

So… is it DNS?
Three things go wrong and all feel identical — this tells them apart:
- Your local DNS is broken. The internet works, but your device/router can't turn names into addresses. (The classic "it's always DNS.") Fix: switch your DNS to 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8.
- A big provider is down. If the major resolvers/clouds fail across the board, it isn't you — Cloudflare, Google or AWS is having an incident. Sit tight.
- It's not DNS at all. Names resolve everywhere and providers are up, so the problem is one specific site/app, or your own machine.
