How this status checker works
Who's Down Today monitors Bitly independently of the company that runs it. We send reachability checks from our primary location every 3 minutes and record response time, HTTP errors, and timeouts.
When Bitly publishes a public status page or incident feed, that official signal is treated as a strong input and is shown separately from our probe. A failed check from one location can be regional, caused by bot protection, or a transient network issue. We prefer "status uncertain" over a false major outage.
This page can show when an issue started, how long it lasted, and the type of error observed. It cannot see internal systems, so it does not claim a private root cause unless the provider publishes one. Read the full methodology.
Frequently asked questions
Is Bitly down right now?
- No. No, Bitly is not down. Who's Down Today shows Bitly as operational based on the latest official signals and independent checks. If you still cannot reach bitly.com, the issue may be local to your connection, DNS, VPN, browser, or device.
Is Bitly down for everyone or just me?
- Who's Down Today currently shows Bitly as operational from our monitoring location, which means bitly.com is responding normally to our checks. If you are still having trouble, try another browser, device, or network, and check DNS or VPN settings.
What should I do if bitly.com is up but I still cannot access it?
- Try opening bitly.com from another browser, device, or network (for example a mobile hotspot). You can also disable a VPN, flush local DNS, restart your router, or check whether your internet provider is having issues. If the site works elsewhere, the problem is likely local rather than a confirmed Bitly outage.
How does Who's Down Today check if Bitly is down?
- We combine independent HTTP reachability checks with public status information where it exists, plus anonymous user reports submitted on this site. When Bitly publishes a public status page or incident feed, that official signal is treated as a strong input. A single failed probe is treated as a possible transient or regional failure, not an automatic global outage. Bot protection, geo restrictions, and HTTP 403 responses are not automatically classified as downtime.
What does a Bitly outage mean?
- An outage on this page means recorded incidents or failed checks indicated that Bitly was not responding normally. That does not always mean every user was affected. Some outages are regional, some affect only certain features, and some appear as errors or slow responses instead of a full failure.
Can this page tell me the root cause of a Bitly outage?
- Not exactly. We can show when an issue started, how long it lasted, the public incident title, and symptoms such as timeouts or slow response times. We do not have access to Bitly's internal systems, so we cannot identify a private root cause such as a failed deploy or database incident unless the provider publishes it.
How do I report an issue with Bitly?
- Use the report form on this page if Bitly looks down for you. Reports are anonymous, rate-limited, and used as supporting evidence alongside official sources and independent checks. For services without an official feed, a spike in reports on this site can surface possible issues even when the website still responds.
