Is X (Twitter) Down Right Now?

The instant check tool above tests x.com live from HostTracker's network of 300+ worldwide locations at once, rather than from just your own connection. If every location fails to reach it, the outage is real and affects everyone; if only a few locations fail while most load normally, the problem is local to those regions or networks rather than X (Twitter) being fully down. A single refresh from your own browser can never make that distinction, because it only ever tests from one vantage point on one network.

Yes. HostTracker lets you add any URL — including third-party services you depend on, not just your own website — as a monitored target, and notifies you automatically the moment it becomes unreachable. Before sending an alert, HostTracker re-verifies a failure from multiple locations in its 300+-location network, so you're notified about real, confirmed outages rather than a single location's momentary blip. The free plan checks two monitors every 30 minutes indefinitely at no cost; paid plans check as often as once a minute, with alerts available through SMS, email, voice call, and several messenger apps.

Posting text and uploading media are handled by somewhat different backend systems, so it's a known pattern for text posts to work normally while image or video uploads fail or hang — this usually points to a media-pipeline-specific incident rather than a full platform outage. If it's consistent across multiple posts and not just one large file, it's more likely server-side than a problem with your specific upload.

Not necessarily. The consumer web/app experience and the developer API run on related but distinct infrastructure, so it's possible for one to have an incident while the other stays healthy — a third-party app or bot using the API can fail while x.com loads fine in a browser, or the reverse. If you depend on the API specifically, checking its status directly is more reliable than inferring API health from whether the website loads.
