What does YouTube's response time mean?
Response time measures how long youtube.com 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.
How does WebsiteDown check YouTube?
We send a direct HTTP HEAD request to youtube.com from our serverless infrastructure, measuring the response time and HTTP status code. We also scan social networks, Reddit, and news sources for outage signals.
Can I still watch downloaded content on YouTube?
If you previously downloaded shows or movies in the YouTube app, those should be available offline even during an outage. New streaming requires a working connection to youtube.com.
Does YouTube throttle streaming quality during outages?
During partial outages or degraded performance, YouTube may automatically reduce video quality. If you're seeing lower quality than expected, check the service status on this page.
