Is Lichess down?

The status at the top of this page comes from Hyperping checks of Lichess, run every minute and refreshed on the page every 60 seconds. Green means the latest checks succeeded; red means they are failing, confirmed from several regions.

We send an HTTP request to lichess.org every minute, in turn from Virginia, Frankfurt and Singapore, and count a successful response as up. When a check fails, other regions check again before Lichess counts as down.

An outage can be partial: one feature, one app, one country or one internet provider, and our checks see Lichess from data centers. Try another network such as mobile data, update or restart the app, and check the official status page for an incident on one feature.

No. Lichess has no public status page; it announces maintenance on the site. Our checks are a way to see whether Lichess answers right now.

Yes. Create a free Hyperping account and add lichess.org as a monitor: you are alerted by email, Slack or your other channels within a minute of a failure. The free plan includes 20 monitors, enough for your own site and the services it depends on.
