Is Netlify Down?

Static sites hosted on Netlify's CDN often remain accessible during partial outages because the content is cached across multiple edge nodes. If the CDN itself is impacted, your site may go down. Sites with serverless functions are more likely to be affected since those require Netlify's compute infrastructure.

Most Netlify incidents are resolved within 30 minutes to a few hours. CDN-related issues are typically resolved faster than build system problems. You can check historical incidents on netlifystatus.com to see typical resolution times.

If you need an emergency fallback, you can deploy your static site to another platform like Vercel or Cloudflare Pages and update your DNS to point to the new host. However, this requires DNS propagation time and is only practical if you have a pre-configured backup deployment.

No, Netlify's build system and hosting CDN are separate. If the build system is down, your current live deployment continues serving traffic normally. You just won't be able to deploy new versions until the build system recovers.
