Netlify is a web development platform that simplifies building, deploying, and scaling modern web applications. Known for popularizing the Jamstack architecture, Netlify provides continuous deployment from Git, serverless functions, form handling, identity management, and a global CDN. Over 3 million developers and teams use Netlify to deploy static sites, single-page applications, and server-rendered websites with automatic branch previews and rollback capabilities.
Netlify outages typically involve CDN edge node failures, build system queue congestion, or DNS resolution issues for custom domains. The platform's build infrastructure can become overloaded during peak deployment hours, causing builds to queue for extended periods. Serverless function cold starts and execution timeouts increase during high-traffic events, and form submission processing can lag during API gateway degradation.
When Netlify is down, deployed websites may return 503 or 404 errors to visitors. New deployments and preview builds halt, breaking development workflows. Netlify Forms stop collecting submissions, and Netlify Functions return timeout errors. Marketing sites, documentation portals, and Jamstack applications hosted on Netlify become unreachable, affecting businesses that depend on web presence for lead generation.
Use this page to instantly check Netlify's availability. Netlify's CDN, build system, and functions can experience independent outages. Visit netlifystatus.com for Netlify's official status page with component-level breakdown and incident history.
A 404 error on Netlify can indicate a platform outage, a failed deployment, or a misconfigured redirect rule. If your latest deploy shows as 'Published' in the Netlify dashboard but the site still 404s, it's likely a Netlify CDN propagation issue. Check netlifystatus.com to see if the CDN is experiencing problems.
Normal Netlify builds start within seconds, but during platform incidents, builds can queue for minutes to hours. Free-tier users experience longer queues during peak times. If your builds have been queuing for more than 15 minutes, check Netlify's status page — extended queue times usually indicate a build system incident.
Netlify's CDN typically continues serving cached content during partial outages, so static sites may remain accessible. However, Netlify Functions, form submissions, and server-side rendered pages will fail during edge network outages. New deployments and rollbacks will also be unavailable.
Set up free monitoring with PinusX Uptime Monitor to check your Netlify site from external locations. This detects outages regardless of what Netlify's own status page reports. You'll receive Slack or email alerts within 60 seconds of any downtime, giving you time to notify users proactively.
